Let's try a quote that's a little closer to what Churchill
actually said:
"That is something up with which I will not put."

:-) :-)
********************
My source (Copperud, _American Usage and Style, the Consensu_, p. 302, quotes
Churchill as follows:

"This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."


I wonder what Churchill actually said (if he said it at all...)

Happy new Year!
