TV Grammar Bloopers 130815

Greetings:

This is a continuing blog and will be re-posted (with previous bloopers) from time to time, just with a new dateline.  It is, mostly, observances of TV "bloopers" of poor grammar construction observed on TV programs.  If you see (and document) another one please let me know.

2013 08 14 1830 NBC National News: Lester Holt, "We're back in a moment with a question that every parent can relate to."  Better might have been, "We will be back in a moment with a question to which every parent can relate."  or, better,  "We will be back in a moment with a question that every parent has heard before."  The first version definitely was wrong.

2013 08 11 1422: CBS Coverage of PGA Golf Tournament: Jim Nantz said, "Today's championship winners; where do you think they're coming from?"  Better construction would have been, "Where do you think we are going to get today's championship winners?"  Or something along those lines.  After all, Nantz is neither English nor Irish so ending a sentence with an uplifting "from" just does not sound quite right, does it?

2013 08 10 1650: CBS Coverage of PGA Golf Tournament: Nick Faldo (?) said, "Just a little more 'oomph' and that ball would have got there."  More correctly would have been, "Just a little more 'oomph' and that ball would have gotten there."

2013 08 10 1650: CBS Coverage of PGA Golf Tournament: David Feherty said, "Another one of those two or three foot putts that he's struggled with."  Properly said would have been, "Another one of those two or three foot putts that with which he's struggled."

 2013 08 10: Advantek Commercial on TNT coverage of the PGA Golf Tournament, "This is what you have been working for your whole life."  Actually would be better as, "This is for what you have been working your whole life."  Really awkward so a good writer would have said, "You have been working your whole life for this!"
