On ending sentences with prepositions.
Does it bother you when people end sentences with prepositions, or do you take it in stride like the fellow who devised the following witticism?

"This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
—Anonymous. (An earlier version, printed in the Strand Magazine and later reprinted in the Wall Street Journal, Sept. 30, 1942, reads, "... offensive impertinence, up with which I will not put.")

Well, I've got a joke for you!

I just read this today in Quirkology by Richard Wiseman:

Texan: "Where are you from?"

Harvard graduate: "I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions."

Texan: "Okay—where are you from, Jackass?"
