I think you say that every time this comes up. And of course, I always repeat the "Corky" analogy, or the primary school students laughing at their teacher analogy. In other words, I am not concerned about what simple folks laugh at.

Again with your confusion, Archimedes.

In an argument, the people who are posting, but without arguments (i.e., heckling) are the non-participants, that is, sideliners—you know, like yourself. And the paper cups that you throw from the sidelines aren't particularly effective.

Ah, you're one of those guys that thinks that ending a sentence with a preposition is simply always incorrect because you heard that somewhere before?

I like Sir Winston Churchill's take on the matter:


--- Quote ---On the subject of ending sentences with prepositions, people often recount a story involving Winston Churchill. When an editor dared to change a sentence of Churchill's that appeared to end inappropriately with a preposition, Churchill responded by writing to the editor, "This is the kind of impertinence up with which I shall not put." His purpose, of course, was to illustrate the awkwardness that can result from rigid adherence to the notion that prepositions at the end of sentences are always incorrect.
