where would the line between manipulation and traditional advertisement be? theaters frequently exhaust the buttery scent in areas where theatergoers will be to intice them, casinos avoid 90° angels and clocks to disorientate customers and promote time blindness.
I'm not a native speaker and I legit googled "what are casino 90° angels", then I realized it was supposed to be "angles" and now I feel dumb lol
On a 777 the angels blind you with divine light so you can't find your way out of the slot machines.
It's a common mistake for even native speakers. Dessert 🎂 vs desert 🏜️ is another common one
Yes these are also bad.
