Boss's Grammar Mistake?
Hi Fellow Grammarians!
I went bonkers when my boss argued with me that her choice to use the word advance instead of advanced was grammatically correct. Please affirm or deny my conviction for I am now a very frustrated proof-reader! I put the alleged, grammar criminal of a sentence below in the hot seat.
"Our students will have an option to take advance film courses through a study abroad program at any [company name] campuses globally"
Thanks in advance for your responses! Have a great day!
