just thought of a cool quote. i think winston churchhill said it.
apparently in an interview or something winston ended a sentence in a preposition. the interviewer pointed out winston's err.
winston responded, "that is exactly the sort of arrant pedantry up with which i shall not put."
and anyone who points out the off topic-ness of this post needs to look up the word pedantry.
