Episode 123: Theravent - for the grammar in commercials that you've dreamt about.

Theravent advertises that its advanced  nightly snore therapy provides "the quiet night sleep that you have dreamt about."

Theravent - provides the sleep of your dreams

Theravent - provides the quiet sleep that has been alluding you.

Theravent - the ultimate snore stopper.

I can come up with so many sentences that do not end with a preposition that I think I will have to stop at this.

I dream that eventually someone will hire me to proofread these scripts or that the bad grammar will disappear.

Episode 122: Grammar to Cheep About

eSurance has an ad that is worth discussing. They have two problems with their grammar in their "Cheep Insurance"  that I am hearing:

"They were built on-line and built to save people money since the beginning. That's what they always have done. Not something they just "Cheep" about." Really? Yet another example of ending a sentence with a preposition.

Talk is Cheap. Grammar is Priceless.

Episode 121: Rolo - Rough Grammar for Such a Smooth Treat

"Get your smooth on."It is such a simple tagline. It is grammatically incorrect. This ad plays off the slag of "get your groove on." Am I getting my smooth on a boat? Am I getting my smooth on a plane? Get your grammar on.  Turn on your grammar check.

"Roll over the rough parts of your day with Rolo" would be my tagline.

"Rolo the rough parts of your day."

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.

Episode 118: Dragon Software needs a grammar check for their commercial

There is a new product being advertised that would make assembling this blog, or any other publication that needs typing, a whole lot easier. The product is Nuance's "Dragon" software. Speak to type. What a concept.

 "It's a fantastic tool that anybody can use and everyone can benefit from."

I hope that it has grammar check so that you are not ending sentences with prepositions.

Episode 117: United Healthcare - shopping around (for better grammar)

The ad has a businessman discussing how his customers have the opportunity to shop the competition. He says "My customers can shop around." Could he have said "My customers like to look at all their options." Which version sounds better than the other? I like options. Am I shopping around town or around the Internet? Maybe he listened to too much Captain and Tennille while he was younger.
