Do You Know Where You're Going (To)?
The song "Do You Know Where You're Going To" has always annoyed me because of it's bad grammar. But, it asks a question Mom might have asked as I headed out the door on Greenwood Street. Where are you going, who will you be with, and when will you be home? She wouldn't let me go some places, or do some things. She was sometimes incredibly mean, and I love her for it.

Yeah, but "Do You Know To Where You're Going?" just sounds dorky. This reminds me of the famous line attributed (perhaps erroneously) to Churchill. Supposedly a proof-reader once criticized a sentence in one of his speechs, because it ended in a preposition. Replied Churchill, "This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
er, that would be "speeches". Talk about dorky...
