Greetings, Nexians! At long last I have found the place I seemed to have forgotten I was supposed to be looking for. Yes, I end my sentences in prepositions all the time, and you know what? That's OK.
"The mythical rule about preposition stranding being a grammatical fault is indeed nonsense, and it's not something you should put up with. But the tricky little piece of cheating attributed to Churchill does not show that."-Geoffrey K. Pullum
But I digress. How could it have taken so long for me to learn of this spice, and locate this Nexus? Ah well, it matters not. Such was the path I have taken, and it has led me here in due course. I have not yet visited the Mystical Realm of the Spice. All in good time. I have been perusing these forums for preparatory information, the wheres and hows and how muches. Before long I will embark on the journey leading to that place. I will take my time and plan my course, as I hope to be one of the fortunate few to succeed at first try, thanks to the wealth of information so generously shared by all of you who have preceded me. I look forward to participating in this fine community, so rare on this net we call Inter. Yes, I fancy myself oh so clever, but you'll get used to that.
