commercial Explanation: commercial, definitely. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 mins (2005-04-06 21:16:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \'commercial\' is more widely used, sometimes you hear \'ad\', but I have never heard \'ad spot\' |

advertisement Explanation: I'm from the UK and I would use "advertisement". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2005-04-06 21:25:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Commercial isn\'t wrong but I associate it with US English more and personally prefer \"advertisement\". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4391731.stm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-04-06 21:27:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or \"advert\", of course. \"TV advert\". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2005-04-06 21:30:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Refs don\'t really help as there are just as many for \"commercial\", but here are some anyway: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4230051.stm http://www.nspcc.org.uk/html/home/newsandcampaigns/video.htm (\"Some adverts contain shocking images and were only shown after the 9pm watershed\") |
