Surely there is a terminological hiatus here, and to avoid ambiguity we 
should be talking about

preposting, postposting and inposting (or, possibly, imposting).

However, a small boy who attends my English school told me the reason he 
had not brought the letter
he was writing was because it was "in his grandmother" [this being a 
literal translation of the
way Bulgarian's say "at Granny's house"]; needless to say I used that 
wonderful opportunity to discuss
the topic of "bottom posting" and its effect on kids' grades.

When I was working at St Andrews there was a golf story going the rounds 
(I mean, why not, at St Andrews ???):

3 American golfers and a wee Scots lad to carry their golf bags.

1. Boy hears a mobile phone ringing; chap starts talking to his hand: 
other chap explains
he has a phone embedded in his hand.

2. Boy hears a mobile phone ringing; chap starts talking to himself: 
other chap explains
he has a phone embedded inside his head.

3. 3rd American runs into the bushes and drops his trousers/pants: other 
chap explains,

"He's just downloading some software."

Q.E.D. I rest my case.
