So, okay, my knowledge of American politics is not what it could be. But I think it’s fairly safe to say that one of the characteristics of the current administration has been the poor grammar, vocabulary and general communication issues of the president.
Things may not be about to improve any time soon.
From the Barack Obama campaign website: an invitation to “A Evening With Barack Obama”.
I came across this after someone had been trying to claim that ‘a evening’ was correct. Hmm. 246,000 Google hits. Though the first of these was for a “Chick-Fil-A evening” which I don’t think really makes the point. And “an evening” gets 12,600,000 hits. So at least the internet is right on something. Even if Obama isn’t.
Stumble It!

Well, at least the description under the title was:
An Evening of Fun and Music to benefit Obama for America.
Maybe they are trying to be all things to all grammarians?
Somehow, I think that makes it even worse!
No worse than you Brits insisting upon “an historical event”
