prepositions

Yes, I love particles of all sorts. Those parts left over after the heroic task of dividing the lexicon up into lexical classes (or parts of speech) and usually consigned to the grammarian's ragbag. It's a murky part of grammar where verbal particles, prepositions, and adverbs start to swap functions and engage in little syntactic orgies.

Favorites of mine include: "That is nonsense up with which I shall not put." and "What did you bring that book that you know I don't like to be read to out of up for?"

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
