Dear Bundaberg, I truly enjoy your seasonal Ginger Beer and admit it tastes like Christmas. However, I can no longer ignore the horrific grammatical smear you added to help distinguish between your regular and seasonal beverage. (Warning: The following description may be confusing to all users) NATURALLY FLAVORED WITH OTHER NATURAL FLAVORS I could list a slew of synonyms for natural and flavor as well as dozens of ways you could have, and should have, edited and revised this abhorrent overuse of the same two words in a 6 word description. Shame on you! I foresee how you may argue a word differential in your change of tenses; however, naturally flavored changed into natural flavors breaks a rule that cannot be forgiven . . . antimeria- using one part of speech as another part of speech, such as using a noun as if it were a verb. - (Don't mess with a nerd obsessed with grammar!) One more thing ... I believe Australians speak the Queen's English. This fact was verified by my father, Roger Owens Bailey (@grandpa_bailey), who not only spent two years in Melbourne but is also the nicest, kindest, sweetest, thoughtful, loving, gentle (see what I did there) humans on Earth. If this drink is made in Australia by employees who speak a supposed superior English compared to the English spoken by Americans, somebody better call the Queen. I'd love the honor if those down under find the task a bit daunting. Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!
