Re: Display or appear (Was: Can "either" be used ... )

["Mark L. Levinson" <nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il>]

"Note that it is permissible to end a sentence with a
preposition, despite a durable superstition that it is 
an error," as Johnson's _Handbook of Good English_ says.

I find it hard to imagine any case in which a real rule,
rather than a superstition, interferes with clear writing.

On the contrary, it is because readers and writers agree
on the rules that clarity is possible.
