Strunk & White are rolling over in their graves.
Their booklet, The Elements Of Style, is an invaluable companion to
anybody trying to communicate in English.

Now I will go play with my son. Then I am going to try to figure out
with which type of lathe I am going to replace my dead one.

From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with
which I will not put.

(Sir Winston Churchill)

The chairperson of the Department of Nits rears its head and states:
The correct quotation is:
Sir Winston Churchill, upon being chastised for ending a sentence
with a proposition: "That, Madam, is a piece of pedantry up with
which I will not put."


Then, however, there is the young child, in the 2nsd-floor bedroom,
questioning Daddy's choice, from the bookshelves downstairs, of
bed-time story book:
"Why did you bring _that_ book for me to be to be read to out
of up from for?"


A girl from New Jersey and a girl from the West
Coast were seated side by side on an airplane.

The girl from New Jersey, being friendly and all, said, "So, where ya
from?"

The West Coast girl said, "From a place where they know better than to
use a preposition at the end of a sentence."

The girl from New Jersey sat quietly for a few moments and then
replied: "So, where ya from, bitch?"
