End sentences with prepositions, Solan? Auden exploded that prohibition as Latinate nonsense decades ago. A story goes: The boy from Texas arrived at the Old Campus at Yale and asked an upperclassman, "'Scuse me, sir. Can you tell me where the library is at?" The New Englander snootily replied "At Yale, we don't end our sentences with prepositions." Texas replied "Can you tell me where the library is at, asshole?"
