How is that Grammar Girl thing? I haven't heard her stuff, but I have read an article about her, and I disagreed with her take on possessives ending in s. Man, I'm such a nerd...
Ha ha. I think it's interesting. I like how she says it's ok to end a sentence in a preposition. Plus, she points out disagreements and reasons why she says it's one way or another, so she's not just feeding her opinion. Also, she makes it very very easy to understand, which is helpful for schmucks like me.
Haha, cool. See, I also disagree with ending a sentence with a preposition. I believe that there's always a way to remedy it, and if you can't figure it out, you simply need to rewrite the sentence. I do believe, however, that the rule is adjustable for voice: It's okay to do it in conversation or really casual writing, but I'm very much against it in anything formal or professional.
