re: #365 victor_yugo

Do you have an example to the contrary, in which a terminating preposition has no preceding object?

No because in those cases the word is simply an adverb:

I ran down the stairs. Preposition followed by the object “stairs”
The clock ran down. Adverb modifying the verb “ran.”

It DRIVES ME BATTY (and yes, there is a very long list of things that drive me batty) to hear, “Where is it at?”
