Tuck Them In

The written word is an important part of business courtship. Be sure all of your written communications conform to accepted grammar, spelling, and style standards.

When in doubt, ask someone you trust to proof your documents.

Tuck in those prepositions! While it may be considered acceptable for a preposition to be used at the end of a sentence when speaking (for example, “Who are you going with?”), this practice is frowned upon in formal documents. When asking the same question in written form, the question should be rewritten as: “Who will be joining you?”
