Advertising

First off, don’t get the wrong idea about this site. I love the ad business….and every wonderful, crazy, stupid, idiotic thing that goes along with it. If you are in the business, you know what I mean. It was the ad industry that introduced us all to the nightly automated phone call that we all hang up on every night. It was the ad industry that created breaks during television shows so that we could all get up and go to the kitchen or to the bathroom and ignore whatever inanity was on our screens before we could get back to what we turned on the televion set for in the first place. It’s why Tivo and Replay have a business plan…not to mention XM and Sirius radio. More thoughts on that later. It was the ad industry that introduced us all to those friendly and ever so present web banners and pop up and under windows that the porn industry has, of course, magnified to the extreme! Try getting away from one of those sites once you enter withouth turning your computer off! Oh, and that’s not even mentioning Shoshkeles.

Vocabulary tests are among the subtests most closely tied to IQ scores on standard batteries, not because a large vocabulary sharpens thinking in the moment, but because vocabulary size reflects the sustained reading and learning that verbal-intelligence measures are designed to pick up
