I've got a BIG STINK to ask about?

Question

(First of all, I am a retired Substitute Teacher, so I should know better.)

ANYHOO, What is happening to our (North American) GRAMMAR nowadays?

A grammatical faux pas is repeated throughout our language that I feel the need to correct, before it gets any worse.

This is the constant repetition of unnecessary prepositions - even in the mainstream Media.

What has happened to concise grammar to explain ideas?

I hear constantly misdirected prepositions that deride the topic of discussion.

Commonly double-inserted prepositions occur when we (and the media professionals, who should know better)

explain ORIGINS or DESTINATIONS.

"They are going out into the rainstorm..." when (they) are only going INTO the conditions.

I learned many years ago to avoid doubling / tripling/ even quadrupling unnecessary prepositions in order to make my ideas CONCISE.

I WAGE A COMPLETE BAN against this grammatical error!

Is anyone with me?

Potentially this faux pas could be only our starting point.

Answer 1

I'm with you. If the media has bad grammar then it will only teach more to have bad grammar.

Answer 2

I'm with you on this one. One to keep an eye on.

Personally, I've learned not to like the phrase "gone missing."
