I know that I said there were 32, but I think either they added a
couple after I had to memorize them in school, or my memory is off by
a few prepositions.
The proper useage of prepositions seems to be the most difficult
problem for people who are learning English as a second language. It
is the most consistent mistake which I see among my Dutch, Swedish,
and Finnish friends.
