minus-squareMr_Blott@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·1 year agoI like the way you managed to use the correct “whom” to sound posh then completely fucked it up with the “at” on the end :)
minus-squareFat Tony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoYeah that’s the perfect way to describe my English in general ^^.
minus-squareMr_Blott@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoYou mean “Yeah that’s generally the way to describe my English in general” 🙃
minus-squarePissnpink@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-21 year agoYou can end a sentence on a prepositional phrase. That’s an old style suggestion, not a rule.
minus-squareHandwovenConsensus@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 year agoBut it’s redundant in that sentence because it began with “at.”

The Onion often gets hate letters from progressives who think it’s genuinely conservative, and more glowing letters from conservatives who think the same.
minus-squareSotuanduso@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·1 year agoTaking into account that this is the Onion, it’s probably aimed at at everyone like the good ol’ days.
