As often is the case, the pedant’s corrections are wrong. People who feel the need to correct other’s grammar are typically trying to cover for their own lack of confidence in their education.

It was a perfectly cromulent sentence.
Anomanomanom
Cromulent, is that a planet in trek wars.

It’s a fairly well-known Simpsons reference.

Those two rockabilly / hipster types dancing at the end of the KBC advert…
would you say they get much stick from their pals for selling out to the man?
These are the things that keep me awake at night.
That’s exactly what I thought anytime I have seen it. 200 for a days work and a bit of lunch. Probably spend it all in the Grafton Barbers.
edalicious
Funnily enough, yer man is actually a barber.
bertie blenkinsop
Yeah, reckoned he might be a barber alright.
Brother Barnabas
who are we talking about?
(not still Clampers, is it?)
bertie blenkinsop
Not this time but stick around I’m sure we’ll get back on to him eventually.
Fionn
Aren’t KBC planning to pull out of Ireland?
I hope I have written that correctly.
Brother Barnabas
We all intend pulling out, but often don’t in the end.
Excuse me while I prepare for the school run.

Keen readers will also note the image reflects the position the Irish Times theatre reviewers take during performances they review.

the attention given to grammar distracts from the completely dumb ad. ‘she forgot to sit down’ .. awful.. it’s like a captions competition, ‘ooh we found this whacky photo, send in your best caption, readers!’

Nice piece of grammar nazi-ism, but incorrect. Probably right about good value for the bank though.

Shouldn’t all statements/ reports/advertisements from any Irish bank have the qualifier that
“this company has lied to the country before and should be treated with caution”
Peter Dempsey
Aren’t KBC Belgian? AIB, BOI and PTSB are Irish.

staffed by ex boi, UB & AIB hat took the early retirement/packages post 2008.
Anyhow wasn’t DEFPA Bank in the IFSC german?? Look how that turned out, it became as corrupt and poisonous as the environment that it operated in.
You may think KBC is different but it will follow the will furrowed patch of corruption that the others have trod
love it. a sub-editor after my own heart.
but disappointingly, the corrector is incorrect.
all of + a pronoun
all + a normal noun
so it’s “all the extras”, not “all of the extras”
education has gone to poo
You’re so hot
“shocked by all the errors” is fine.
Nothing wrong with that top sentence, apart from a full stop to bring the sentence to a full stop. The ad is b0ll0cks though.
‘Day-to-day’ banking. Hyphens please.
