Anonymous Is this sentence correct? It is not good practice to begin with a conjunction, and 'being' is not necessary. 'To no end' has a different meaning than 'no end': A physicist, she had a scientific approach to everything in life, so when she couldn't find a logical explanation for the event, she was frustrated no end.
