		<description>La BellaDonna waves to her fellow grammarians, the Mimi and the Camera Obscura, and confesses that in the years of the college, La BellaDonna used to correct the graffiti in the women's bathrooms. :)</description>

		<description>The Camera thanks the Mimi for the astute but unnecessary lecture on the dangling of prepositions.  If the Mimi will click over &lt;a href="http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/churchill.html" rel="nofollow"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;, she will find the myriad versions of the Churchill story / quote.  And if she will peruse previous comments, she will see that the Camera leaves prepositions hanging, dangles participles and splits infinitives with rapturous abandon.  

The Camera also has the nasty habits of sometimes leaving out the comma after the next-to-last item in a list and putting the period outside of quote marks when they are for something other than a spoken declarative sentence.  The Camera knows these habits are sometimes acceptable to the British, but the Camera's European ancestors have lived on North American soil since the early 1600s so she has no reason other than that she is being obnoxious.  The Camera has herself been accused of being a grammar Nazi and an sesquipedalian freak, which she refutes loudly whilst quickly hiding her book and CD copies of &lt;i&gt;Eats, Shoots, and Leaves&lt;/i&gt;.

It appears though that the Camera should start inserting the smiley-face emoticon when she is making the joke of grammar.</description>

		<description>Yes, the Manolo he entertains.  And the Manolo he gets paid for all your link click throughs when you read through his site.  The Manolo is a good businessman who laughs all the way to the bank.  And yes, the Manolo is one of the "faces" of successful Multiple streams of income.  His site is one of the better monetized blogs around.  The Manolo's site is set up pretty much like he is a member of Robert Allen's Enlightened Millionaire Institute, and has taken their "multiple streams of internet income" course.  I admire the Manolo's business acumen.</description>

		<description>To Camera Obscura...Ending a sentence with a preposition is not always an ungrammatical thing to do; even many grammar purists (myself included) regard practicality as being more important than strict and blind adherence to rules.  There is a widely quoted example involving Churchill referring to “something up with which we will not put.”  Much more clear, and unstilted, to say “this is something we will not put up with.”

In your example, though, your ending the sentence with “to” is grammatically correct for another reason, i.e., what obviously and logically follows your sentence’s ending “to” in the reader’s mind is “tell a friend.” To repeat that phrase at the end of the sentence would be redundant and even silly, so, technically speaking, that part is understood and is better left out.

(…Just thought you might want to know.)

		<description>"Coaching" is the EST of the new millennium.  

The Manolo, he is successful because he obviously loves what he does.  It shows.

If The Manolo indeed makes the six figures from the blog, the Zarba he humbly congratulates him.
