Yeah but ad is short for advertisement.

Advertisements are something to make you buy something you wouldn't otherwise think of buying. They come in the form of billboards, banners on websites, commercials on TV during commercial break.

Okay yeah a preview for content that's on the same platform can be like an ad, or a type of ad, but I've already paid for the streamijg service so it's not really trying to get me to spend extra money on something else so I guess that's why I think of them seperately from ads.

As for FBI warnings and producer logos (besides displaying the logo of whomever made the thing you're already watching), what are they advertising?

Apple put some ads up for other shows of theirs, but made them skippable

TBH I don't get why we call those ads. Back in the day of VHS/DVD, we called those previews. That's still how I think of them, and imo there's a difference between that an an advertisement, which would be for a car, investment app, brand of tampons, etc that have nothing to do with the streaming platform's content they have to offer.

Why do we lump the two things together?

I get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, but 4th person is a new concept to me and I'm trying tl wrap my head around it given your examples. This is intersting

Edit: OOOOHH so it's like 3rd person where you're talking to the second person about another person, BUT instead of that person being a specific person (3rd person) it's more like a "they/them" kind of thing where it's not any specific person but just... Anyone at all?

I can see both words being annoying the the teacher at most but inappropriate ?

If it bothers the teacher THAT MUCH, they picked the wrong profession

I don't get why 3, 10, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 22 would be on that list. Some of those arw completely normal words on their own.

Okay Low taper fade probably references something but I don't get it. No names? On what? People just go around saying "no names"? In what context? What does it even mean?

Ughhh, it's so difficult these days. People tend to use a wink to be passive aggressive or facetious and I mistakenly took it that way.

Oh well, water under the fridge! Hope you have a good day today :)

With such a short sentence, it was probably quicker or easier for them to type it out than to do all the work of highlighting and copying it, given how tedious that can be with our tiny little touch screen phones, which is what most users are on these days as opposed to desktop.

Hair splitting aside, I take you didn't notice my little ironic typo I slid in there as as a joke, which is all my comment was meant to be. Sorry you didn't find it as funny as I'd hoped.
