Advertisements with poor grammar drive me crazy, too. I saw some ads with horrible Spanish grammar, and talked to a friend of mine who works for a Latino ad agency. She said they do it on purpose to catch people’s eye. There was an ad in the paper for Methodist hospital in which they use the subjunctive in English correctly. I use it in my Spanish class, and the kids all think the grammar is wrong. Sigh! As to a college doing this, I wouldn’t go there.
