But can you end a sentence with "and" (without the quotes)?

Why for did you include the word 'for' at the end of your sentence for?

Don't libel WC. He correctly used shall, not will. (To all you grammarians out there, yes I do know when "I will" is correct.)

The correct quote is: "This is the sort of errant pedantry up with which I will not put" Sir Winston Churchill

One of my favorite sentences (which ends with %d prepositions): What did you bring that book I don't want to be read to out of up for?

This may not be syntactically correct, but someone was looking for a sentence ending in "and" and I found myself saying this today: Dryden? It's where Tweitman's Halfway House is halfway between Ithaca and.

The best sentence with many terminal prepositions is a varient of one that has already been mentioned. Imagine that someone has just returned from Australia with a book to read to you from. [sic] It's the wrong book. You say: Why did you bring me the book that a don't want to be read to out of up from Down Under for? Eight prepositions! (OK, so it cheats a bit...) -- Jerry decvax!yale-comix!leichter
