I understand your point of view, truly. But I disagree with the premise that because I have used that phrase we have to throw the baby out with the bath water. Essentially, the point of copy is not to follow each and every grammar rule. It is to make sales. Nothing more, nothing less.

Also, here's an interesting post from the Columbia Journalism Review: https://www.cjr.org/language_corner/overwhelming-overwhelm-w.... The author acknowledges that the word "overwhelm" has been used as a noun since the 1500s.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea. But it doesn't need to be.

So there are two truths here. Yours and mine, which can happily coexist :)

And yet…

You corrected kahunas to cojones, and cleaned up the copy around nouning overwhelm so that it read like the article you found. Your original usage was clunky, and we were trying to give you valid feedback. You are sticking to your guns in the thread while making ninja edits in the copy.

Feedback hurts, but at the end of the day, we’re trying to help you. You keep saying it’s not about correctness, but about sales. What we’re telling you is that your incorrect grammar is losing you sales.

I'd be crazy not to optimize the copy, for sure. I even mentioned that I would be doing so in an earlier comment I wrote here yesterday. I still don't feel that my original sentences were "wrong" per se but they were detracting from the original purpose of the post if they're attracting all the attention. And luckily, I've been doing this long enough that I was able to hit my sales goal even if that means I couldn't convert you. It just means I've got more work to do to become that good!

So thank you for taking time out of your day to share your thoughts. It's much appreciated! Have a good day!
