You are right. Funny I didn't catch it or no one else pointed it out before you. I've only used it for 2 years.

and you shouldnt end a sentence in a preposition...

Guess that makes me the grammer nazi.... =P

"Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put."

A student from Texas was visiting Harvard and trying to find his way. He finally stopped someone on a sidewalk and said, "Howdy. Say, can you tell me where the library's at?"

The student (for that is what he obviously was) said, "Sir, this is Harvard. At Harvard we don't end sentences with prepositions. Would you care to rephrase your question?"

The Texan thought for a moment and said, "Sure, can you tell me where the libraryh's at, a$$hole?"

Shalom.

Would I be forgiven if I were to say I am a great English writer?
