- Bu> Ending a sentence with a preposition is just not where it's at.
-
- Reminds me of a line attributed to Winston Churchill. He was annoyed
- by somebody's carping about ending a sentence with a preposition, and
- chastised the offender with, "That is the kind of arrant pedantry
- up with which I will not put!"
-
- "where it's at", of course, offends for its redundancy.
