Back in the Second Millennium when I used to hang out at Radio Shack, their ad slogan was "You've Got Questions; We've Got Answers!" And I made friends with one fellow tending the store there, and I would overhear him answering the store's phone: "Thank you for calling Radio Shack! You have questions; we have answers!" And I would be mildly amused that he steadfastly held to the rules of grammar in verbal discourse, but I was also a bit disappointed; a loyal Radio Shack employee would lean into the dissonance and take one for the team. I myself would gladly say the line, with a big grin on my face every time. I would, however, welcome my telephone persona being replaced by an A.I. |
