End of Sentence Prepositions?

Apparently this came from public-school doctrine, derived towards the end of the 18th Century and based on Latin grammar, which said, "Never end a sentence with a preposition". Well, if you want to base your grammar rules on Ancient Italian from 2000 years ago, that is your privilege. But languages evolve, and for many decades now it has been quite acceptable: you can end a sentence with a preposition. In fact, it is something we should all stand up for. (Oops!)

'The handle provides something to hold on to'.

“This is the sort of b***dy nonsense up with which I will not put!”
