My favorite grammar rule was this one, found in my 5th grade "grammar" school grammar book: "A preposition is a word you never end a sentence with." :) /s/ Paul Mitchell p.s. Substance always prevails over form. And, upon hearing this rule, Winston Churchill said, "Madame, that is an objection, up with which I shall not put." Whereupon, the lady of the night with whom Winston was drinking, said, "Oh, Winston, you are so drunk." In response to which, Winston retorted, without delay, "Madame, I may be drunk, but you are ugly. And I shall be sober in the morning!"
