Where's The Macy's Rapist At?

Where is the editor? As my old 3rd grade teach would say, "He's hiding behind the 'AT'.".................Never end a sentence with a preposition..............

Never end a sentence with a preposition..............

That has long been a pet peeve of mine.

It was drilled into me by my sixth grade English teacher, Miss Erbaugh, who also taught sentence diagraming - both most likely absent in today's "Big Education/Indoctrination industrial Complex".

Yes, the old rule goes: “Never use a preposition to end up a sentence with!”

That is something of which I will not put up!

placement of which is not the problem with the quoted question.

There is no place at all for “at” in the question.

You misused the ellipsis as well.

Other than that, you are totally correct.
