Thank you Clive! That's what I thought, but my son was absolutely sure that Bold is the right word. It was a big argument on the subject.

That's a lovely new avatar you've got there Clive.
But you must not see the same commercials I do. Coffee is sometimes described as having a rich, bold taste.

Hi Barb,
True, in ad-copy land. But if I visit you and I want to compliment you on your coffee, I wouldn't say 'Mmmm, this is bold'.
I'm not a coffee drinker, anyway. What does 'bold coffee' taste like?

Gracious! I'm getting quite an image of tea with a lovely nose!
I completely agree - if you are drinking my coffee, I'd be surprised to hear you say "What lovely bold coffee you're serving me!" But ad copy does form a part of our lives, so it doesn't sound odd to the ear, even if it sounds odd at the dining room table.

Hi everyone,
may I ask to what are you referring in your discussion by saying "ad copy" or "ad-copy land"?

Hi,
may I ask to what are you referring in your discussion by saying "ad copy" or "ad-copy land"?
'Ad' is short for advertisement. 'Ad-copy' refers to the words that are in an advertisement. A 'copy-writer' writes words for ads. A good copy-writer can earn a lot of money, if her ads sell a lot of products.
Copy-writers do not always write in
