Description

On Facebook groups I see people saying "thanks for the ad" all the time. But they're not expressing happiness at seeing advertising. They're talking about being added to the group.

I just saw this comment on YouTube with the opposite:

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by turning the quoted Facebook and YouTube examples into reproduction cases and locating the grammar-rule entry point and related tests; done means the checker flags the intended "ad"/"add" misuse without flagging ordinary advertising or addition uses.
