The grammar is just fine. Some 19th c. British schoolteacher tried to make English Latinate, and started the stupid proscription against ending prepositions. That's not grammar; it's a loopy stylistic preference and nothing more.



Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

Think we errr....ummmm.... shared figuratively speaking a high school English teacher. She also took offense to starting sentences with conjunctions. I pointed out that one Wm. Shakespeare, as well as Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald had done so. I got detention for being "sassy". I sat quietly for an hour, thinking evil thoughts and using sotto voce words she would have disapproved of.


"There is a famous anecdote featuring Winston Churchill and the British politician Bessie Braddock ... Supposedly Braddock encountered an intoxicated Churchill and said “Sir, you are drunk.” He replied:

And you, Bessie, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly."

Did you start them with a conjunction?

And it came to pass that...I don't remember. But, if I ponder long and hard... I'l have recourse to Garner and R. W. Burchfield, editor of the second edition of Fowler (Oxford University Press

Regarding the word "and", Fowler's Modern English Usage states, "There is a persistent belief that it is improper to begin a sentence with And, but this prohibition has been cheerfully ignored by standard authors from Anglo-Saxon times onwards."Garner's Modern American Usage adds, "It is rank superstition that this coordinating conjunction cannot properly begin a sentence."

The word "but" suffers from similar misconceptions. Garner tells us, "It is a gross canard that beginning a sentence with but is stylistically slipshod. In fact, doing so is highly desirable in any number of contexts, as many stylebooks have said (many correctly pointing out that but is more effective than however at the beginning of a sentence)".Fowler's echoes this sentiment, saying "The widespread public belief that But should not be used at the beginning of a sentence seems to be unshakeable. Yet it has no foundation."[/

Just FYI, Totally Wicked has their GS Air clone, the CS Air Tank on sale for $10.49. If you were a customer prior to August 1st, you can use your $7.50 credit to pick it up for $2.99 plus $2.99 shipping... $5.98 for a tank that's identical to the GS Air, right down to the screw air flow adjustment. The $7.50 credit expires on September 1st and vanishes if you haven't used it by then, if I remember correctly.

This is a running joke between my bestie and me. Whenever we end a sentence with a preposition, we always add "b..." at the end of the sentence. I'll let you determine what the "b" stands for, b... :lol:

A preposition is something with which you should never end a sentence.

A preposition mod is something with into which you should never end a sentence. insert a coil. Ignoring this grammatical precept will cause the mod, the coil, and the human unit to get all messed up.

Now and then I do a recoil that floods a bit. Just a couple drops but enough to shake out.

What causes that or am I doing something wrong? I am always careful to keep the wrap straight and be sure the shroud juice slits
are fully covered.

I'm winding them to the factory 1.5 ohms.
