Default The Match That Wasn't

The best example of I've ever seen of ending a sentence with a
preposition, in this case five of them, yet being perfectly
comprehensible, involved a little boy whose father brought a book
the boy didn't like for his bedtime story. The boy said "Daddy, what
did you bring that book I didn't want to be read to out of up for?"


The boy didn't like it because it contained stories from all the
countries of the world but dad liked the boring Australian ones the
best. ``Daddy, what did you bring that book I didn't want to be read
to out of about Down Under up for?''
