I could have a hey day with the the grammatical flubs of on-air announcers. That is not the point of this blog. The point is to illuminate the problems that scriptwriters have with basic grammar. I have a problem with commercials and feature scripts where hanging prepositions and incorrect pronouns are used.
I wrote during the beginning of the month regarding a Disney movie that has grammar worth fighting for, when I highlighted the phrase "Some people are worth melting for" from the movie "Frozen." Another hanging preposition can be found in the trailer for "Walking with Dinosaurs" when the announcer states that this is the story about 'a friendship worth fighting for.'
Some friendships require a journey to forge.
Sometimes you have to fight for a friendship to last.
Sometimes you have to fight for better grammar.
