We have to call it a landfill. <br /><br />Even hoary old Strunk and White admit that ending with a preposition is OK, if it saves words and retains meaning.

You won't have to worry about potential identity thieves, and it's better for the environment!<br /><br />I also hate ending a sentence with a preposition!

I know it shouldn't be done, but sometimes there isn't a better place to fit it in. And even if you had said "I have a list of things as long as my arm with which to crack on," not only would you not have avoided ending your sentence with a preposition, but--if you will excuse my saying so--you also might have sounded like rather a prat, which I might have found it hard to get over. ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-71209775557020101892010-07-15T15:30:12.115+01:002010-07-15T15:30:12.115+01:00I guess Abigail and Ginger have the days off two a...I guess Abigail and Ginger have the days off two and they look like they know what to do with the time.<br /><br />I adore the computer photo - we've all been there.
