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:
> Honestly...the interview feels like a big add for AI service.

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.
