Missing the point

I know I focus too much on words. This was pointed out to me by my good friend Henry when I commented on the poor grammar within a sub-title on a magazine.

The sub-title, next to a scantily clad, curvaceous young lady in a provocative pose and sporting a “come hither” look in her eyes, read:​
​“100 women, 99 bikinis. Never has math been so fun!”
​My immediate thought was that this should have read, “…so much fun.” or “…such fun!”

Henry pointed out that I might be focusing on something other than that which the magazine intended its readers to focus upon.

It could have been worse. At least you didn’t offer to provide one more bikini so that the deficiency highlighted in the title could be corrected.
