Yesterday I found a cornucopia of advertising that contained bad grammar: A higher education facility, a frozen/prepared food company, and an office supply store. I am a parent who survived another year of back to school shopping. The shopping lists provided by our school system often include request for 3-packs of items that are sold in 5-packs. The schools also ask for items, such as cloth book-covers, that seem to only last for a day. This year they requested the purchase of multiple composition notebooks.
Staples has a back to school commercial promoting 10 cent composition books for returning students. The commercial advertised that you could but the inexpensive composition books "so that they have something to write in." Preposition. Ending? Really?
It is time to send the scriptwriter back to grammar school.
