RT - Chief Mongress agreed with Sir Winston Churchill when he said,
From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.
In her honor I will be ending as many sentences with prepositions as I can think up.

JT provides undeniable photographic evidence that Fmragtops and I are two separate individuals thanks to an invisible drone he has flying around.

I hope the Chief Mongress doesn’t freak out. It’s not really worth getting all bent out of shape over.

did you know that about 50% of the population has a below average attention span?
Is the word “at” a preposition?
We (a friend and I) were wondering what English rule we are breaking if we ask
“Where are you at”.
We remember (from our public school education) that we are not supposed to put the “at” at the end of that sentence.
It is redundant, that much we realize, in that the word is not needed.
But we don’t know what rule we are breaking. Is it this preposition thing?
[ps: I got a hit to my blog, someone searching for a RadioActive myspace page.
Do you think maybe it is the link I have back to here? You wouldn't have a myspace page to accompany this blog, would you?]

Grrrrrrrr…..You do this on a day that I graded 25 horrible essays!!!! Thanks! I’m feeling the love. NOT!
Tomorrow and Wednesday, while I’m grading more horrible essays and other crazy amounts of work, I’ll remember this and plan my revenge.
I might just take away your bacon!

Yes. “At” is a preposition. AND it’s redundant. Also annoying to many, but that’s not technically breaking a grammar rule.

Just to clarify, Allen’s Brain, did you mean to say that being annoying is not technically breaking a grammar rule or were you implying that ending a sentence with “at” was not grammatically incorrect?
I think you meant the first one.
Eileen, this may be of help.
RT, you may take my life, but you’ll never take my Bacon®!
Skul, you have outwitted me.

To clarify: Ending a sentence with “at” is also annoying, but being annoying doesn’t technically break any grammar rules.
Where was I unclear at?

Thanks much for pimpin’ the interview with JACK ARMY.
I belive that if more Americans heard from the troops, there’d be at least a little less anxiety over the war.

Why would we want to do something like that? People might ask, “What’s up?”
“Of course, I’d reply ain’t nothin’ up.”

That may be true Diesel, but he’s cheaper than you are.
