TV Grammer Bloopers 130810

Greetings:

This will be a continuing blog and will be re-posted from time to time, just with a new dateline.  It will be, 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 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!"

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 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."
