My, you do make a lot of assumptions.

Possibly due to your "Theological" background.

Not my science background then?

You are wrong in intimitating that the first construct was incorrect. My, you really do need my help... do you tie your own shoelaces?

He can't open a file, how the fluff do you expect him to write a script????

Got about 30+ PDFs as icons embedded in the a .docx document. I can open them and save them one by one but the filenames are not retained. This is a stupid problem to have in 2018. I remember it in 1998, but 20 years later... you'd think dragging and dropping them would work, but no....

A question your parents no doubt often asked.

Who helped you construct that sentence?

I'm bloody sure you don't have the ability to string all those words together just by yourself!

Needing my help again? You are wrong, both constructs are equally comprehensible and grammatically valid. In colloquial English, even "who should I send my timesheet to for signing" would be fine to all but the most anal of armchair grammaticians.

On occasion I'll struggle to avoid sentences ending with a verb.
