Just don't put prepositions on the end of sentences. I was going to put the old "Prepositions are a bad thing to end a sentence with," on there, but I didn't, because I wasn't sure anyone would get it. Last year I tried that in school, and nobody got it! I should invite Tim Sample there sometime to tell them what the word "humor" means.

Can give me a reason not to?
I ended the above sentence with a preposition, but I don't see how it could be considered incorrect: I'm simply leaving off the last two words (i.e. "do so"). I can't think of another way to word that question without including the words I want to leave out, so it must be correct. Therefore, saying to "never end your sentences with prepositions" can't possibly be a valid rule. You've got to be more specific.

It's not a "complete sentence". If someone just came up to you and said "Can you give me a reason not to?", you would probably say "Can I give you a reason not to do what?", right?

Yes, it is a complete sentence in the context I used it: the "do so" is implied. In your quoted example, it might mean something totally different.
Okay, guys, since I'm definitely horrible at the secret message, I'm trying something slightly easier. I've done the first one, but I'm having a little trouble with the second. The problem is, I'm either hitting the wall above the first door, hitting the floor immediately after coming out of the first door, or hitting (or landing on) the ledge after the speed booster blocks.
I just got a used metroid fusion, I need it to set up to mp1's fusion suit. how would I know if it has been beaten? the first 2 file both have max health, and max missile. and both saved before sax-x, one is 4 hours and one is 2 hours. and there is the thrid file, that have 12 minute.
the first 2 file have a metroid beside it, does it mean that it has been beaten?
