Thank you for your post. You must have been in the States for some time, as you seem to have absorbed the language. At the risk of getting my face slapped, I'm a one woman campaign against using "at" to end a sentence. Quote --- "Kirton may not have been where it was 'at'. The 'at' is not necessary, and a sentence shouldn't end in a preposition, but that usage of 'at' has crept into the vernacular here during the past 10 to 15 years and practically everyone says it, and it is incorrect grammar. Would you like to join me in my campaign or would you like to punch me in the nose? Have you ever heard Churchill's famous saying? "A preposition is a word up with which I will not put"......Cheerio Pip-Pip......BS
