Here’s what Showtime contributed to my Facebook “News Feed” today:
“Watch a preview for the next episode of Californication.”
and:
“Watch another preview for the next episode of Californication.”
(Hank Moody would never write something like that.)
Wait a minute. Shouldn’t it be “Watch a preview for the next episode for Californication”? Fair’s fair, isn’t it? A little consistency here!
OK. Seriously. We don’t watch previews “for” things. We watch previews “of” things. No?
We wouldn’t say, “I’ve prepared an appraisal for your job performance.”
Or, “Don’t miss the next episode for ‘Modern Family’. ” Or, “Please write a summary for the seminar you attended today.”
Work with me here folks.
