:manhug: | By definition, you can't end a sentence with a preposition. It's impossible.

There is no subject being linked.

The word 'of' is a preposition and is the last word he used in the sentence, Clay.
Here are more examples:
Where is my wallet at?
What do you need to go to the store for?
Which department is he in?
'of' adds NO significant meaning to the verb, thus is not a phrasal verb. It's just an unneccesary word, which is a preposition, and the last word in his sentence. Therfore, he ended his sentence using a preposition, followed by a period. That is the kind of impertinence up with which I shall not put.

I was incorrect to call them adverbs, I believe, but I am dead right that they are not prepositions.
Those words CAN BE prepositions, but in those sentences they are not.
A preposition REQUIRES a subject to follow.
By definition, if no subject follows, it is not a preposition; it's something else.
BEYOND all this, however, is the truth that this "rule" is tremendously outdated.
