Yeah that's what I've heard. People at work say the first and apparently I'm saying it 'wrong' waaa

Same actually. I have to deal with applications for advertisement consent and I've been going around saying it wrong.

I think I do say the top one, it's so confusing, I really am not sure how I pronounce it, I barely ever actually say that word in full

Out of those options..the bottom one.

Usually just say adverts though.

And 99% of the time it's to say something like 'Hurry the hell up, I hate these ****ing adverts' :idc:
