> addicting kids
Is this grammatically correct?
It sounds very strange to my (British) ears.
I would write "[...] for making kids addicted to their products" or similar.
But then "x is very addicting" still bothers me. There's already a perfectly good and distinct word "addictive" so why make "addicting" serve a dual purpose?
