"Share what you want, with who you want." Is no one else put off by that grammar mistake centered on their front page? I'm not a native speaker, but it sounds just plain wrong.
- anthonyb 16y agoIt's a headline. Headlines have a grammar all of their own. Since they're essentially a hook to make you read more, good headlines will be short/catchy/interesting. In this case, they're using alliteration, plus they're attacking one of Facebook's weak points (lack of privacy control).
- hammerdr 16y agoAlso using iambic tetrameter. share WHAT you WANT with WHO you WANT The only issue I have is that the comma indicates a break which seems unnatural to me. That isn't always bad if you're trying to emphasize two different thoughts but I think of that slogan as a single cohesive thought rather than two different ones.
