Re: (Separable) suffixes?

The former is easily (and traditionally) rephrased as "To which store
do you want to go?" -- cue the old debate about stranded prepositions
at the ends of sentences.

I must say I find it very unusual for a prepositional suffix to split
the root of a verb from its infinitive. Usually when such things
happen it would more or less indicate that the two has coalesced and
were no longer analysed as consisting of a verb + preposition, but a
new verb that encompasses the meaning of the preposition.
