Episode 85: I am waiting for (Better Grammar in Advertising) to be Penn-ed

I can't tell you how many times I have watched the Colonial Penn advertisement for 'death benefits' to pay for the cost of burial. I think that I missed this example of bad grammar because it has become common place to say "what are you waiting for."

Why are you waiting? What will it take to make you call Colonial Penn? Are you waiting for a personal invitation from Alex Trebeck?

Ending a sentence a preposition with. I've previously said it and I'll say it again: If it weren't so painful, I might go back and count the number of examples of ending a sentence with a preposition that I have uncovered.
