I was taught never to end a sentence with a preposition... but that is arrant pedantry, up with which I shall not put. :smug: :O:

Very good. I usually begin a follow-on sentence with "That said, ..." but sometimes, as in this case, I do wrong things on purpose just to make a point. As I pointed out, not too long ago I accidentally used "you're" when I meant "your". That to me is the much bigger mistake, and I don't mind being corrected at all. :sunny:

A pedantic sentence if ever I read one.

Nope, quite the opposite.

The story goes that a bumbling editor once awkwardly rearranged one of Churchill’s sentences to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition. Churchill responded with an angry but clever marginal note: “This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.” The story is bogus, unfortunately... But while the story is untrue, like most popular myths, it still communicates something true: sometimes the rules are wrong and can lead one astray.

That I'm not an obsessive-compulsive grammar nazi.





Which I am, but I'm taking my meds when I remember.
