Where is all this money going to come from... or should I write "From where is all this money going to come?" In either case, the song is a good one even if the message is not.

Good morning tkret,

Please do not worry about your prepositions. I never do. And besides, sometimes those things at the end of a sentence are adverbs anyway and adverbs do not get an object. (Please do not ask me what "from" is in your sentence because I have no idea.)

But I gotta tellya, tkret, you ended that sentence with a question mark. Rhetorical questions do not need question marks. The lack of the question mark indicates that the writer already knows that you know and is not expecting an answer. The answer is understood. And in this case, the answer is all too sadly understood. You know we know and we know you know. I wish we did not have to know and I know that you wish we did not have to know. You know that we know and we know that you know that this is a big ugly mess.

So anyway, thanks for the link. And I am really not trying to yank anybody's grammar or punctuation chain. I think we communicate just fine around here. And, tkret, I know that you know and you know that I know that we are just talking about real estate anyway, not punctuation.

Oh, and in case you did not know, I like to read the links you give us. But I know I wish they were not so. And I know we all wish they were not so.

But what do I know?
