Guess I need to work on that.)<br /><br />Hey, Anne. I know what you mean about ending a sentence with a preposition. Even though I see it done more and more frequently in other written works, (even the newspaper!) the only time I ever cut myself any slack on that one is when it occurs within dialogue.

Absolutely agree! I believe in breaking as many rules as you want - as long they make the message you are trying to make clearer and not more confusing.

Students haven't finished growing their brains yet, I reckon. And ya know what they say ... if the only tool you have is a hammer, you begin treating everything like a nail.
