Re: Can a sentence end with a preposition?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] A new student wandering around Harvard University spots a upperclassman. "Excuse me, but could you tell me where the library's at?" "Hmmmph. At Harvard, we do not end our sentences with prepositions." "Oh, sorry! Could you tell me where the library's at, [censored]?" [/ QUOTE ] This is from the script for With Honors. [/ QUOTE ] It's at least ten years older than that .. [/ QUOTE ] I thought of this joke as soon as I opened the thread. It is an old one, and I'd imagine it's been around in some form since the early 20th century. |
