Dangling

Yes, I am aware that last post ended with dangling prepositions. Little known fact: certain grammar rules of "English" were imported to our tongue in the middle ages by monks, the main literate force in the populaton. The preposition rule is actually a Latin re-engineering. It isn't native to English's mechanical operation.

Dangling prepositions may be something up with which we will not put ... but they aren't actually inappropriate to our language, kiddies.

The sentence fragment I will leave for your scathing judgments, though. It has no justification but rhythm and the fact that this is my blog. So there.
