the post read very much like an ad to me, specifically in it's recommendation of a brand-name consumer product in a post that mentions no other brand names (other apartment therapy posts that mention specific products usually include them in some sort of round-up). i was wrong, and i do believe that i already acknowledged that above.

the grammar mistakes were included because they leapt out at me as i re-read the piece to see whether my initial impression of it as ad-like was warranted. i see no reason to apologize for pointing out those errors. i did not attack the author ad hominem in any fashion.

it certainly reads like an ad, but if that's not the case then i stand corrected.

content aside, this really needs an editor. you mean "laminate", not "laminiate", there is no need to capitalize "Grandparents", and the word you're looking for in the last sentence of the paragraph on plastics is "were", not "we're".

i'm a little dismayed this is not indicated anywhere in the post as an advertisement. it really doesn't read as an unbiased editorial.

that said, any chemically-scented febreze product is significantly less appealing than the teabage mentioned in teh previous post.
