Promises
Lately there have been a number of radio and tv advertisements where the advertiser takes great pride in making promises.
Just so we are not entirely mislead, I would like to point out that children make promises, adults make commitments.
For example; it is not uncommon for a youngster to promise to be good. This usually occurs moments after the youngster is caught being bad.
Keep this in mind when dealing with individuals or companies or politicians making promises as they try to sell a service or product or image.
