It is not possible to produce a ... [complete] list of English prepositions... Why? Because complex prepositions
can theoretically be added to the language at any time. This ... [list includes] all 94 one-word prepositions (which
are unlikely to change or be added to) and 56 complex prepositions (which may possibly be added to as the
language evolves). This total of 150 prepositions is ... [complete] at the time of writing, and represents all the
prepositions currently found in a good English dictionary such as the Concise Oxford Dictionary. (p. 6)
