not proper English, ending the sentence with
a preposition

Ships do come about don't they?



;~) I believe that would be correct, since the sentence did not end
with about. I'm obviously no English guru. ;~)

Huh? "Come about!" is a sentence.

The media would probably change that to, ships do just about over come
don't they?

Do you mean "overcome"? Complexly different meaning.


It is what you hear on TV vs the way it is spelled.
