Is this monkey business we're dealing with?

I was just wondering how long you could keep this up.

Those last two sentences don't end in prepositions, and I'm not sure what you did that for.........

But not out!

Gambler here wishes to up the ante - how many prepositions can you place in a row? Here's one sequence:

"He weighed in at upwards of 300 pounds."

HofT: Good to see you here. Boggs is doing great. Thanks for asking. He hasn't chewed on anything furry since. Guess he learned his lesson. Smile

I've tried, but can't improve on four prepositions in a row:

"Our group hangs out in out of the way places."

End a sentence with "a preposition"?
What would you want to that for?
Count me out.
It's not the kind of thing one should be involved in.
Or put up with.

But it's not worth getting upset about.

Can you end a sentence in a preposition?
I agree. It's totally inappropriate. Why people would assume you don't even know what you speak of.
