"He worked the day through."
"He worked through the day ."
"The sniper took out two intruders."
"The sniper took two intruders out."
"He slept through the morning."
"He slept the morning through."
I do understand that for standard transitive phrasal verbs, the preposition could be moved behind the direct object. But "sleep through" is not a universally accepted transitive phrasal verb. So could the second sentence be wrong?
