Humans and the silly way we use language.

Humans and the silly way we use language.
Not to sure about other countries but America has lots of lawyer ads selling services if you are affected by an accident or bad product. Ok, yea fine.

But sometimes they put language in it that gives me a a chuckle "If you or your family member has died", Yea, I guess that is where the "if" is important. But still, if you die, how the hell are you going to benefit, you will be dead?

I think it should be "If you have been injured or had a family member die". Doesn't matter who dies, if you are dead, the only thing a suit helps are the survivors.

I am all for medicine, and doctors too, but still, when they put medication adds on then go through the list of side effects that seem deadly compared to what it is supposed to cure. Thats another one that gives me pause.

Pedantic, admittedly.
