Episode 120: Get the grammar you have wished for (from and advertiser)

Mercedes pulls out another example of ending a sentence with a preposition with their "Lanterns" commercial when they say: "Get the Mercedes Benz you have wished for." This could have been as simple as "Get the Mercedes Benz of your wishes" and had some husband or wife muttering "Wish I may, Wish I might, the first star I see tonight....." and then they could go to a red carpet event where everybody is arriving in the new Mercedes Benz."

How about: "Get the Mercedes Benz of your dreams" with someone reading a book where instead of visions of sugar plums danced in their heads it is visions of sedans danced in their heads.

It is so simple to hear when a sentence ends a preposition with.
