I chanced upon the cable guy's local channel the other day. It was airing one ad after another of coaching classes in the locality.

One of them that appeared as ticker was prominently advertizing its "Silent Features". I wondered for a while about this paradox - until I realized that what they meant was "Salient" features! I hope they aren't offering coaching for English language. :-)
