Where am I?
Not that anyone would care after reading my blog this week, but if anyone wants to know where I am, do not ask where am I AT. I hate that. Not that I am an expert on grammar or anything, but that one is just wrong and ugly. Sometimes ending a sentence with an incorrect preposition is so colloquial that it sounds stilted to reword, but WHERE AT just annoys me and it has annoyed me since I was in high school. I feel uncomfortable correcting anyone's grammar (or table manners), but I do have these few pet peeves to get off my chest. I'm doing it all in English this week before returning to the relative anonimity provided by writing in Danish.
