Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which we shall not put!

Ya beat me to it!

I was going to write “Ending a sentence with a preposition is something we will not up with put.” but I guess I don’t need to write it any more.

“Prepositions aren’t to end sentences with”

Yes, you posted that sentence using correct grammar but in today’s English writing, it sounds awkward.

Young people are so illiterate, they post things like “ur” for the words “you are.” You also see “ty” for “thank you.”

FU is self-explanatory as is STFU.

NSFW is a very common term used in today’s communication.

LOL is now universal.

ROFLMAO is a more descriptive word picture.

FAFO is a newer shorthand term.

BOGO has been around quite awhile.

TEOTWAWKI is also common.

Everyone ends sentences with “at” now. It’s incorrect English, drives me crazy. Supposedly educated talking heads all say it, people that should know better.

Ending a sentence with a preposition is something of which we shall not condone.

Oh Hell! I found a birthday card that my sister and I send back and forth to each other. Two women are talking while sitting in a bar. One of them asks, “Where is your birthday party at?” The other scolds her and says “Don’t end a sentence with a preposition. Inside the card, the first woman says, “Where is your birthday party at bitch”.
