    I've gotten to the point where it's now encouraged, and in fact, in some devil's editing, I have rewritten writers' awkward sentences and done that on purpose.

    I know, I'm going to hell.

    Umpire calls a strike on Piniella, who goes nuts.

    Piniella: Where the hell was that one at?
    Umpire: Don't you know you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition?
    Piniella: OK, where was that one at, you asshole?

    The way I heard it, Churchill supposedly said "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."

    A preposition requires an object. It's a must. This is something up with which I will not give.
