Talking Back

To the Editor:
I had my first opportunity to receive your magazine because a former employee’s copy was directed to me. As a recent graduate of a nonprofit management master’s program, I am horrified to see the cover of July’s issue (“Special Report:E-philanthropy 2006 — Where It’s @”). Is it possible that you wish to legitimize the expression, “where it’s at”? As things stand, nonprofit organizations have an uphill struggle to be perceived as professional, intelligent and legitimate. Regardless of current slang usage, ending sentences with prepositions is not acceptable in professional periodicals.
