In my ad-supported version of AWAD today, I saw this ad: Subscribe to http://delanceyplace.com -- a carefully selected non-fiction book excerpt free to your email each day. It's the thinking person's daily quotation. Since my Google homepage is set to display several "daily quotations", I am in Mr Garg's debt for disillusioning me, and correcting my mistaken assumption that I am a thinking person. Dhanyavaad kuch nahin ke liye, Garg sahib.

Why take the complete opposite as the only option? Instead of non-thinking, possibly you're just poorly thought out.

but not unusual
I took it he referred to its use as a verbed noun. Sticklers could backform a verb disilluse, ŕ la emote from emotion. "I hate to have to be the one to disilluse you but you're wrong!" I just might / could be wrong, though. Of course, correctlier, it could be disillude.

Since my Google homepage is set to display several "daily quotations", I am in Mr Garg's debt for disillusioning me, I hate to disillusion you (further), not only should you be thanking Delancey Place (for writing the ad copy)(as etaoin said) but your beloved Google itself for deciding to show it to you. Anu has done nothing but the equivalent of saying "Google, please put some ads here." Perhaps you have given Google too much information...

The ad was in an email from Anu, read in my email client, not in my browser. It was not a Google ad, which are always identified as such.
