is it better to say, "That is something I will not put up with". OR "That is something up with which I will not put."\n\nI heard it is the latter even though it sounds strange, it is grammatically correct.\n\nOr you can always talk about HAMLET. It is hard to say anything novel but if you say you have a theory that maybe  his girlfriend was the victim of foul play and not suicide, it may intrigue her. \n( this is my personal opinion) I always wanted to write a missing act to the play that explains why she turns up dead in the river.\n\nOr talk about how it was NOT a tragedy that Hamlet died because he was contemplating suicide anyway, so at least he killed his enemies first.( to be or not to be, that is the question.)\nhe was thinking about killing himself but was scared because he thought it may be worse than life( more suffering)

Yes, its emphasis. But its more than just "this is the end of this sentence". It means for example, forever: "We are finished, period"... or,  with no doubt: "He was crazy, period". \n\nIn other words, it puts a closing not only to the sentence but to what it is saying (the content).

It depends if that is an ending or beginning of a sentence. As in:\n\n"On a quiet and peaceful night, I walked in the woods."\nor\n"Nothing stirred in the quiet and peaceful night."\n\nYou would generally want to use "on" with the phrasing of "__ a quiet and peaceful night" or "in" with the "__ the quiet and peaceful night."\n\n\n*Update*\nAfter seeing your update, "On" is the only word that will correctly fit.

This may be more information than you want.  I'll apologize in advance.  \n\nAs two words, the context tends to be, "The blood stained the carpet."  noun/verb.\n\nThe other two seem to most people to be interchangable.  Here's the detail part.  When compund words enter the language, they typically begin as a hyphenated word.  As they become more common, the hyphen drops out, thus creating a true compound.  Therefore, after a certain period of time, the hyphenated version will become obsolete.\n\nAs a side note, you might want to check different dictionaries.  Webster's tends to be more prescriptive, meaning it attempts to influence our language and usage.  America Heritage tends to be more descriptive -- just telling what it is we do with the language.  \n\nAgain, I apologize if that was more than what you wanted to know.
