I just ended a sentence with a preposition ...

Congratulations, clever.

You are now German.

 

I don't understand this thread. Is biatches a preposition?

 

Ending a sentence with a preposition. Man, you're lucky some copy editor doesn't sneak up and shiv you.

 

I always thought “biatches” were “atches” that swung both ways.

 

Can't we get Congress to pass a law allowing this?

 

They probably wouldn't go for a law, but maybe a non-binding resolution.

 

Oh sorry. I meant in a story I was writing. Of what was I thinking?

 

It's not as bad as ending the first line of a 2-deck hed with a preposition. I mean, you can skim over sentences in a story, but everyone reads headlines. We look like idiots when we dangle a preposition in the middle of a headline.
Oh, excuse me. My sarcasm is dripping onto my keyboard.

 

Sirs, Madames,

It's a sentence structure I'm down with. But the habit is hard to break from.

YHS, etc

 

As much as I want to end a sentence in a preposition and finally get past my OC disorder, I haven't been able to pull the trigger yet. I'll keep the board posted.

 

Word up.

 

I've done it plenty, but sometimes I still feel like I need a bleach shower after I do it.
