Something to Write About: Ending with Pepositions (31-40)

I started this column as a frustrated person who was tired of advertisers using poor grammar to promote their products. Haven't they ever hired copy editoirs? Here are the first 40 examples I have uncovered, starting with the first ten that I uncovered while watching television:

"Protect what you worked so hard for"
"Wherever your party is at."
"Is that the package we've been waiing for?"
"There’s isn’t a challenge he isn’t up for…."
 "12 Fish to Stay away from."
 "Helping you and those you are there for."
"Sometimes the hard road is the right road to be on."
When you shut off the water "it goes back to wher eit started from."
"Turn your blinker on."
"What your mouth would dream about."

I may be up to fifty examples by the time I finish this research.

Golden Grammar - Money can't buy you good grammar

There are times when some people don't know what word to end a sentence with. I'll give you a hint as to what type of word should not conclude a sentence: a preposition. Watching actors get paid for a commercial, and probably script-writers writing those words.  If you are Rosland Capital investing using William Devane as your spokesperson the words that come out of his mouth should be 'golden.'  We have dumbed-down our language so much that  this misspoken sentence flew under  the radar: "Protect what you worked so hard for." Protect your money and protect your reputation, you have worked too hard for both of them.
