A linguistic irritant XXXVII

It doesn't happen that often, but it irks me just a little when radio personalities refer to their station's commercials as ads.  It's not technically incorrect, but I've always thought of ads as a term for print media and commercials as a term for radio and TV.

Admittedly, I could just as easily have written this extremely minor complaint as one of my "A petty fixation" posts.
