use of adverbs

[JJ!!]

Can adverbs be used at the end of a sentence, eg "Where is she at?". What is the rule? Please quote it. Thanks for helping and Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! James

Hi JJ -
Sentences like that are (I think) the origin of the "don't end a sentence with a preposition" rule, which is without validity in most other situations.

It's a preposition, not an adverb, and it's one sentence in particular that sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. It's non-standard.

Where is she? Where are you?

Not Where's she at? or "Where're you at?
