00:13

She contracted mano better known as the kissing disease from

00:16

the boys She's been after now she's stuck at home

00:20

watching soap operas and wondering whom johnny could have caught

00:23

mono from penelope is busy puzzling over the identity of

00:27

the other woman in johnny's life But should she be

00:30

worrying more about her proposition Aly uses well here's the

00:34

grammar rule on ending senses in preparations It's Totally cool

00:37

to do so as long as that proposition is necessary

00:41

and indispensable art What does necessary and indispensable look like

00:48

lana's family is unpacking from a recent move from our

00:51

masks Which box is the tv remote in that you

00:56

is necessary and indispensable without it The question doesn't make

00:59

much sense Jimmy plans to ride in the mongol rally

01:03

with his three best friend The guys are site Their

01:06

parents have only one question Which third world countries do

01:09

you plan on driving through Well that through is once

01:13

again necessary and indispensable And having seal team six on

01:17

speed dial for this trip will probably be necessary and

01:19

indispensable to billy and tracy have been together since the

01:23

seventh grade but now they're going to different colleges on

01:27

opposite sides of the country tracy tells billy cheat on

01:30

me this semester and i swear i'll fly to pittsburgh

01:32

just to cut something off if you get what we

01:35

mean that off is necessary and indispensable as are some

01:40

other things and something tells us that billy's eyes aren't

01:43

going to wander at all Okay now that we've looked

01:47

at senses that correctly end in propositions let's look at

01:50

some examples of end of sentence proposition use gone horribly

01:53

terribly wrong katie's throwing herself a birthday party and she's

01:57

invited all her friends seven o'clock on saturday night rolls

02:01

around and she's all alone in her living room where's

02:04

everyone at she asked we'll hear the ad is unnecessary

02:09

dispensable and grammatically incorrect and just plain annoying Tom sees

02:13

a carload of hot girls at a red light He

02:16

pulls up rolls down his window and ask the driver

02:19

where you drive into well they probably mean to get

02:21

as far away from that bad grammar is possible tom

02:24

because that too is both unnecessary and dispensable The grammar

02:29

rule here is simple It's Okay to end a sentence

02:31

with a proposition so long as that proposition is necessary

02:34

and indispensable And now that penelope has got propositions under

02:38

control it's time to have a friendly little chat with 00:02:41.893 --> [endTime] her boy johnny Oh come on
