>It was John Dryden who first promulgated the doctrine that a preposition may not be used at the end of a sentence, probably on the basis of a specious analogy to Latin.

It was the Dukie's first time in Chapel Hill, and she KNEW she shouldn't be wearing a Duke sweatshirt, but the story wouldn't go on without it, so wear the sweatshirt she did. She stopped a coed wearing Carolina blue and said, "Can you tell me where the UNC library's at?"

The coed sneered, "Don't they teach you at Duke not to end a sentence with a preposition?" The Duke smiled sweetly and said, "You're right. Let me rephrase: Where's the library at, asshole?"

Whenever Peggy and I have words, which isn't often, she smiles sweetly and says, "The library's over there," leaving the endearment unsaid but recognized.
