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.

Episode 119: No Matter which list you are on - This Grammar is Naughty, Not Nice

I started this blog during the Spring of 2013. I am now rolling into the Christmas Season and I am being gifted with more examples of poor grammar, just in time for Christmas blogs.

Mercedes Benz Has their Naughty or Nice Commercal. One side of Santa's Factory has a truckload of white cars heading out the doors, and the other side has a truckload of red cars. I would have made it more stark and had the red cars be black. Remember people sometimes received coal in their stocking. Color choices aside, they conclude the commercial for the "Mercedes Benz Winter Event is back" saying that they "have the perfect vehicle that is just right for you, no matter which list you are on."

They have the perfect vehicle for you whether you have been naughty or nice. Ending a sentence a preposition with is just poor grammar.
