You don't end a sentence with a preposition, but a thread title isn't a sentence. Checkmate, grammah notzeez!) Anyway, I'm just starting this list. Y'all are gonna have to finish it. Top ten wards/areas for MormonGator to be Bishop 1. Any ward in smoky high Colorado, where marijuana is legal! (Just kidding - it's against the wow here in CO too, and still a horrible idea.) 2. Provo, UT.3. The Hell's Bay ward of the Florida Everglades Stake. (zil) 4. Small town Canada! He would really fit in! In one of our northern territories, we had to change the election law due to the high rate of criminal convictions. Now having a criminal conviction is not a barrier to running for office!

Well, if you were bishop of the Hell's Bay ward, you and your fellow gator-members could just chomp on the American jurisprudence system if it happened to drop by... (I mean, I'm sure your ward members would want to protect their bishop - or at least chomp on something...) seashmore and Sunday21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His controversial first action as bishop. . . repainting the building . . . orange! A certain painter, often would thin his paint so it would go further. So when the Church decided to do some deferred maintenance, he was able to put in the low bid, and got the job. As always, he thinned his paint way down with turpentine. One day while he was up on the scaffolding -- the job almost finished -- he heard a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky opened. The downpour washed the thinned paint off the church and knocked him off his scaffold and onto the lawn among the gravestones and puddles of thinned and worthless paint. The painter knew this was a warning from the Almighty, so he got on his knees and cried: “Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?” And from the thunder, a mighty voice: “REPAINT! REPAINT! AND THIN NO MORE! zil, Sunday21, person0 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't end a sentence with a preposition, but a thread title isn't a sentence. Checkmate, grammah notzeez!) Oh, I finally got to see what you meant by that. Actually, I've never seen an official grammar book state that it is improper to end a sentence with a preposition. My favorite English teacher disavowed me of that notion as well as the prohibition against starting a sentence with a conjunction. This idea was started by E.B. White and his partner "Strunk" (I don't know his given name, I guess I don't know Mr. White's name either) when they wrote "Elements of Style". In it they point out why it is a bad idea stylistically to do either of these. And they make a good argument. But at no time do they say it is improper grammar. Quote A: So, where are you from? B: I, sir, come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions. A: So, where are you from, jerk?
