Tony has added some to his list, including, “Visit Tom Morphet and Jane Pascoe in Australia,” “Zip-line across Porcupine Creek with Dakota Fred,” and “Cut a single with Snoop Dogg.” Tony’s cousin, Kisa Bergstrand, painted a banner that read, “Hope life is cherry after the ferry!” Friends filled a bucket with “Bucket List” suggestions. Cambria Goodwin made a cake decorated with the Big Dipper. Tony’s friends, Greg Horner, Fred Shields and Michael Smith played rock ‘n’ roll with their band, Dynaflow. Tony worked on the ferries for 23 years and represented his coworkers in the Inland Boatmen’s Union. Spencer and Ben have been friends for many years and started a non-profit called “Off the Chain.” The evening before the wedding, Spencer and Ben biked around town along with 40 other friends and enjoyed the views of Haines.Ĭhristy Tengs Fowler hosted a retirement party for brother Tony Tengs on Saturday May 19 at the Pioneer Bar. Ben Hussey from Anchorage was the officiant of the wedding. Spencer’s father Jerry Douthit also came early to spend time with Spencer before the wedding. Spencer’s mother, Marianne Molchan and her husband Ric Walker came from Florida. Beth’s parents Nila and Doug Fenhaus attended along with her godparents, Marylee and Ken Reddie. The band Sweet Sunny North played at the reception and later on in the evening the God Particles continued the dance party. A reception was hosted at Harriett Hall after the ceremony and the whole community was invited. Think about it: would you rather say “What can I help you with?” or “With what can I help you?” In fact, in cases of direct prepositions, you’d run the risk of sounding like Yoda if you didn’t end a sentence with the preposition-“the doctor’s in” sounds much better than “in, the doctor is.Spencer Douthit and Beth Fenhaus were married on May 12 at sunny Jones Point with friends and family looking on. Most modern contexts (unless you’re a lawyer or lawmaker) call for conversational English whenever possible, and ending a sentence with a preposition often sounds more natural than not doing so. For example, the question “To whom should I address the complaint?” correct, as is “Who should I address the complaint to?” but the former is much more formal than the latter. The line famously misattributed to Winston Churchill shows the ridiculousness of applying this rule unilaterally: “Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.”īut it has more to do with how formal or casual you want to sound. Your grammar teacher in elementary school may have said ending (and in some cases, starting) a sentence with a preposition is a no-no, but this is absolutely untrue. You are studying “at” the university, but you go “to” the University of the Philippines, for example. Thus you might be a student “of” philosophy, but you’re “in” BA Philosophy. You’re a student “of” a subject, “at” an institution you go “to” a certain school, but are “in” a program or field. Thus, you might go “to Times Square,” which is “at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue,” which in turn is “in Manhattan, New York City.” Or you could be “at your office,” which is “on Ayala Avenue” and “in Makati.”ĪDVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW 11. “in” for locationsįor large areas like neighborhoods, cities, states, provinces, or countries, use “in.” For thoroughfares like streets, roads, avenues and the like, use “on.” For specific locations like a particular rooms or structures or the intersection of two streets, use “at.” And for contexts involving visiting a location, use “to.” Instead, skip the preposition and say “This is noted” or “I’ve noted this.” Or KISS-keep it simple, sister!-and just say “noted.” Better yet, why not use “Got it/this” or “Will do”? 9. However, “noted on this” is not grammatical. That being said, simply indicating “noted” or “duly noted” to mean a message or instruction has been received is fine. “Noted” is one of those words many believe has been overused to the point of flogging in business English. You make it “in time” for something to happen or not happen, such as “in time for lunch.” 8. You are “on time” for an appointment or when you submit something ahead of a deadline.
