Question by **Hannah**: i am writing a add for a rehab center in florida,does this line make sence voted best rehab in new york states?

Best answer:

Answer by thecharleslloyd
It is possible.

Answer by Armchair Goddess #1
“Sense” and capitalize the word “Florida” as a proper noun. The word “ad” is short for “advertisement” and there should be a period (.) used after the word “Florida.” Then the “d” for “does” should be capitalized as the first word of a new sentence, followed by a colon (:) after the word “sense” (not sence), after which you can place the words of your ad. Instead of using the word “best” without defining, I’d suggest the possibility of using “most effective”…”[Name of Rehabilitation Center] has been voted the most effective rehab in New York.” [If true, this would be an acceptable endorsement.]
