Default Re: It's Sumter NOT Sumpter

Okay, a chance to mention my pet peeve .. P R I V I L E G E ... there is no D in privilege. Never was. Hopefully, never will be. It rates up there with nails on a blackboard (Sumpter was just a mild irritant).

Does that mean ending a sentence with "of" is okay? I know I'm frequently guilty of that one.
