Subject: [VFB] Prepositions & Propositions
Thanks, Jim. I see you have an education to defend me with. As for the proposition, well, we were down in the Keys on a hide-away vacation and didn't want to spoil it. So no, we didn't want company. Maybe another time. If we get the place in the Keys we are looking at (oops- again), we'll have lots of propositions for company to fish with (oops- again!). DonO My Post -Do not end sentences with a preposition. * Jim's response - This is not true at all (it is old grammar school stuff). My Comment #1. As a creative writing teacher ( a long time ago, I do know that usage trumps style and rules and have often used sentence s that go on and runs into. (Whoops did it again. Damn preposition and dangling participles) My Comment #2 Dimento is absolutely non-defensible in any case and one should never pass up an opportunity to tweak Dimento or any of the other multiple personalities. My favorite show is the "United States of DonO." JG --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
