Wha? I can't end a sentence with a preposition? The obscure and complicated grammar rules of your strange language have baffled me once more. Why can't I end a sentence with a preposition?

You are not supposed to be proud of doing something wrong on purpose. Never end a sentence with a preposition. [/QUOTE]What's a preposition?

I wouldn't worry about it Iron Greasel, I don't have a clue either and it's never bothered me [img]smile.gif[/img]

Me too. [/QUOTE]Fragment, consider revising. [/QUOTE]On forums we type in a way to reflect speech, and so that is prefectly fine.

Is this for a threaded or bayonet fitted lightbulb? [/QUOTE]Does anyone remember the old plug in lightbulbs you used to be able to get? [/QUOTE]Most X-mas tree light strings are still the plug variety.
