Dr. Dowd's once forged my name on a university website. His criticism
is reminiscent of a cable that Winston Churchill once sent ending a
sentence with "of." When a subordinate reminded him that it was wrong
to end a sentence with a preposition, Churchill replied: "Do you see
the kind of idiocy up which I have to put.=94
As I recall, the exact quote was "Do you see the kind of idiocy up
*_with_* which I have to put.=94
Clearly the `with' is necessary. But it's not, in fact, clear that
Churchill ever said or wrote anything of the sort.
