Nazi? No. The ad is a reflection on the campaign, not on you. There's no need to defend the people who decided this ad was good to go.

But from a purely grammatical point of view, it was good to go.

There's enough out there to keep you busy if you just worry about the stuff that's actually wrong or if you just want to focus on health care without expanding into the stuff that's awkward because you're not sure of the number intended in advance.

And with the grammar nazi comment, I include myself in that anytime I'm going to call someone out. It's one thing to correct or comment on something that's wrong. It's something else to correct or comment on something that turns out to be right.

ETA: but I wrote Bosnia when I meant Serbia early this week, so I'm really not trying to pretend I'm upholding some high standard of commentary.
