===================================

Wait for the teaser for Korina’s show.  She says three sentences directly to the viewer (the rest are clips of the interviews).

Sentence One: This is Korina Sanchez asking your questions NOW.

Sentence Two: These are the people who make a difference in your lives.

Sentence Three: Until then, have a good one.

Which really doesn’t make any sense.

Obviously, this is a teaser and she isn’t asking our questions NOW (at THIS very moment).

At this point I am asking, is she addressing each of us individually, each viewer with many questions (so YOUR would be a singular personal second person pronoun) or all her viewers  with one or more questions each (and YOUR would be a plural personal second person pronoun)? Not clear.

But then with Sentence Two we know she means YOUR as plural. How? Because she says "your lives". If she were addressing the viewer as an individual she would have said "your life".

But Sentence Three is the killer.  Until then, have a good one.

Until when? I thought she was asking our questions NOW. When is "Then"?

Have a good one? A good what? I thought hmm.. maybe since she just said that her guests makes a difference in our lives, maybe she is saying, "have a good life"?

A good life? Until Then? Naw, probably not. A good dinner? A good show? A good question? A good night?

And then, wait, she said have a good ONE? So the YOUR is singular after all?  Or else she should have said, Until then, have SOME good ones.  But that would be even weirder.

Last night, I finally saw an entire episode of Korina Today and  found out that Sentence One is how she opens the show, and Sentence Three is how she closes it. 

So Sentence One made sense in the context of the show. Because the NOW was the show itself.

As she ends the show, she says the show is aired Monday and Wednesday afternoons with a reply on Monday at 11:30 and Wednesday at 12:00 midnight. Then she says, Until then, have a good one.

Ok, that didn’t make sense. Until Monday or Wednesday (when we watch again? is the then) but again have a good what between the end of this show and the next time we watch????  Not to mention that midnight is actually not Wednesday anymore, is it? It’s Thursday.
