I would guess it's all of them, or perhaps the most frequent ones. There may be old ones too which are seldom or never used but you will still find them in old literature or magazines.

It's just a few... there are many more, all waiting for nouns and verbs to latch onto.

Thank you. They are good examples of prepositions which we use often. So Andy, do you approve of sentences ending with prepositions? I know you are very good at grammar. 🙂

I would appreciate his opinion on what would be proper English. I love grammar and I know Andy is very good at it.

I don't imagine it would be a choice? It would be either proper or not proper would it not?

I would avoid it in formal writing, but I think it's okay in everyday conversations or emails and Internet forums.

So we don't have to concern ourselves about it in the forums! 😉

I wish that counted spelling too! 😉

Hell, I am not going to lose any sleep over it, haven't in the last 15 years! 🙂

Well, we don't have to be as exact as we sometimes need to be in formal writing, but it is interesting to know what is right or wrong - then we can decide if we want to be right or wrong.

It's a matter of interest. I love grammar - structure and rules. I don't lose much sleep over it either. 🙂

I don't lose any sleep over it, and get my point across most of the time which is all that matters! 🙂

Good. I hope this is a thread where we can feel comfortable exchanging ideas and opinions.
