Episode 95: ODing on prepositions

Anybody who has read any of my previous posts know that most of the issues I have with poor grammar revolve around ending sentences a preposition with.

Old Dominion has a great concept with their current advertising campaign where they have their drivers dressed as everything from astronauts to life guards. The are advertising that they can satisfy your needs for any profession. They say:  "Whatever business you are in, that is the business we are in." Two fragments do not make a sentence. Two fragments that each end in a preposition is really atrocious.

"Your business is our business" That line might be a little scary considering the NSA scandal.

"We keep your business moving."

"Whatever you business, we get you where you want to be."
