Episode 87: When was the last time an ad took your breath away (to Alaska)

When was the last time a vacation took your breath away? This was a question asked during a commercial for Alaska tourism. If you 'travel' to the http://www.alaskabeyondyourdreams.com  website advertised during the commercial it redirects you to the http://www.travelalaska.com/ website and the opportunity to receive some free information. Ending a sentence a preposition with.

This is not the first time that an Alaskan tourism advertising has caught my grammatical attention. Episode 62 focused on the  "In Alaska you vacations go further. And higher" statement. That commercial raised my ire because the phrase started with a preposition and ended with two modifiers that had nothing which to modify.

When was the last time your vacation made your dreams come true?
