Today I would like to argue in favor of "where are you at," largely because I have started catching myself saying it and feel sheepish, but in some measure because I also feel it has a place in our lexicon.
Caveat: it should only be used figuratively and should never allude to a geographical location.
Acceptable: "Cummings! Where are we at on the creation of that Doomsday device?"
Unacceptable: "Winn Dixie? Where's that at?"
Thank you.
