Yeah, they are awful. My mate bought all the ingredients and a fancy martini glass, had half of one, and gave up.

I'm British and have never said the first one you mentioned and don't think I can recall hearing it. Nearly everyone one will use the second version - adver-tize-ment, although it's most common to hear ad or ad-vert.

Edit: just asked my great granny who is 99, and she pronounced it adver-tize-ment, so not a generational thing.

I went to the toilet and shouted for my son that I needed toilet roll. When he came in, I grabbed it from him and touched him with my hand, which I had covered in chocolate mousse. Worked a treat.

How on earth would they know she has 4 days to live? The article says renal failure. Dialysis is a thing. Seems vague and fishy.
