I made an important life decision the other day while running. Running seems to ease the decision making process for me. Usually when I try to make a decision I analyze the pros and cons of each outcome and try to reason through what makes the most sense. When I think about a problem while I'm running (this doesn't work as well when I'm skiing because usually I'm thinking about skiing but I can run without thinking about running) I simply pick what feels right.

Anyway, I've decided to stop dangling my prepositions. Is that an anti-climatic decision? Because I've been thinking about it, agonizing over it really, for probably eight months now. Typically I dangle my prepositions frequently. Most people do, which is why I hadn't been able to decide if it was an acceptable practice. There's only two people I know who don't dangle prepositions in their spoken or written English. That's a pretty small percentage considering how many people I've met so far but it's reassuring to know that it's possible so I think it's time to kick the habit. A girl can only have so many vices.

I will concede, though, that it's more of a matter of style choice rather than strictly correctness so I won't presume to be critical of other people choosing to dangle their prepositions.
