Shut Up

How can you make fewer grammatical errors?  Shut up!  That is, stop talking before you err.  "Where is he?", not, "Where is he at?"  "How long will you be here?", not, "How long will you be here for?"  If we had said in school, "I don't know where he's at," the teacher might have slapped us with a ruler!  The main problem is not that there's a preposition at the end of the sentence, but that there's a totally unnecessary word.
