This kind of phrasing is actually incorrect grammar (so people who would force you into that kind of situation are hypercorrective), since the verb is not "to put" but rather "to put up with", so "up" and "with" are actually particles and not prepositions. Also, on a side note, I will point out that French requires you to make "quel" (which) agree with number and gender, whereas English does not. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.
