Okay, I couldn't stay away for long. Ending a sentence in a preposition is not grammatically incorrect. It isn't. This is a rule in Latin but not in English. My understanding is that the only reason it is perceived as a rule in English is that a bishop mentioned in a book written hundreds of years ago that sentences sounded better if they didn’t end in prepositions. Why? Because Latin was perceived to be better than English. And so the idea was put forth that a true gentleman would avoid that particular sentence structure. Is that any reason for us today to bend over backward to avoid saying something a certain way?
Of course, there is more to communicate in language than just the ideas behind the words. The way words are put together says a lot about the speaker or author. But really, I think eloquence of the message can show a lot more about writing ability and education than memorizing a particular word order to avoid. And now that there is not such a divide between the ecclesiastic Latin and layman's English, the whole reason behind this particular rule just seems silly.
Therefore, I propose we stop caring if otherwise correct sentences end in a preposition.
