Among my all-time favorite writers was Jack Smith, long-time LA Times columnist who died in 1996. His columns were always must-reads for me, and I still remember one of them, about ending a sentence with a preposition. Illustrating his approval of the practice, he cited the following question/comment by a young bedridden boy to his father: “Why did you bring the book I didn’t want to be read to out of up for?” – noting it ended not merely with one preposition, but with five.
