So you honestly don't believe dictionary.com?

Are we getting off topic from the thread, or aren't we? I'm happy either way, just let me know which you prefer.

You stated it's 'impossible' to end a sentence with a preposition. I showed you, based on a credible source, that it's not only POSSIBLE, but suggested at times.

So beyond even touching whether or not it's possible, what was the point of the original post regarding this subject? Are you saying it's NOT suggested in the sentence Jon posted? How would you rephrase it then? By removing the word "of"?

Thanks D. Couldn't have done it without your awesome picture to base it off of.

Couldn't have done it without your awesome picture of which to base it off.

Nah. Sounds like shite.


Couldn't have done it without your awesome picture of which to base it.

Meh.

Without your awesome picture I couldn't have done it.

Yessir! How big do you want?

As it turns out, "of" IS an adverb, modifying the adverb "off."

Neither are prepositions in this sentence.
