‘Tis the season to stop saying ‘Tis
The next time anyone says ‘Tis, the next time any ad says “‘Tis the season to buy a new Lexus“, the next time the radio beeps “‘Tis the season to get new clothes from Macy’s“, the next time the newspaper reads out loud “‘Tis the time to get a new bank loan with low rates“, the next time my answering machine has unwanted messages that say “‘Tis the time to look at reducing your mortgage payments“, and the next time any person says the word “‘Tis“, I’m going to close my eyes and say “‘Tis the time to shut up for no reason at all.”
‘Tis the time to say ‘Tis no more, because it sounds stupid when ‘Tis used by every advertising medium and every ad on the planet. The same way Teletubbies advertising BMW’s would destroy the quality of a BMW for some, ‘Tis destroying the image of every product ‘Tis associated with, in my mind. Or maybe I need to start using that word in everyday life also; who knows.
