2010-02-15|Canadian Museum of Civilisation's Misleading "FREE FOR KIDS"

The following is an excerpt from the advertisement on the Ottawa Citizen newspaper 2010-02-15 by the Canadian Museum of Civilisation Corporation.

Today, the Museum of Civilisation and the War Museum are both open and FREE FOR KIDS*.
The asterisk leads to the following fine print.

One free admission for one child under 18 years of age upon purchase of an admission for adult or senior.
The condition is very clear, but phrase "FREE FOR KIDS" should read "FREE FOR A KID" because only a single child qualifies for free admission. Using the plural form is misleading, and amounts to false advertisement.
Thank you very much for your attention.
