Ending a sentence with 'too'

ryansamturnerWhen a sentence ends with the word 'too' should this always have a comma before it?

My teachers said yes, always. Nevertheless, not everyone agrees with this advice. Some people prefer not to use the comma in shorter sentences. Your examples are fairly short, so a comma is probably not absolutely necessary.

Thanks. I just think I looks rather odd. It doesn't seem like there should be a pause before 'too' in any sentence.

There are two schools of thought on commas. I do not belong to the group that advises commas where one would pause in speaking. I try to place commas on the basis of grammatical patterns as much as possible, and on the basis of traditional practices.

Well the book I am reading insists not to end a sentence with a preposition.

'Too' is an adverb so you are fine.

Any book/writer insisting that a preposition is something you should not end a sentence (or clause) with is half a century out of date.

Even when I was at school in the 1950s, that was an artificial rule, followed in real life by probably fewer than 10% of native speakers of BrE.

If you speak like this book recommends, then think about how would you say these:
What are you up to?"
Who are you giving that diamond ring to?
Back up!
Do you know where John is coming from?
In contemporary English, that sort of nonsensical stuff is something

Once I lost a preposition.

It hid, I thought, beneath my chair.

And angrily, I cried, "Perdition!

Up from out of in under there!"

Correctness is my vade mecum,

And dangling phrases I abhor.

But still I wonder, what should he come

Up from out of in under for?
