"Where are you at?"???? Isn't that a dangling participle? I was learnt that 'Where are you' is all you need to axe. One that always causes me to chuckle a bit is when a question is asked and the person answering starts out, "Well, to be honest....." Does that mean any other time he or she isn't being honest? Or how about, "To tell the truth...." Does that indicate you can expect a lie any other time?
