The traditional rule is that you are not allowed to end a sentence in a preposition. No, not just you. No one is allowed to end a sentence in a preposition.
But people don’t care as much as they used to. Oops… People don’t care as much as they used to care.
There must be a compromise – a way to let people write the way they speak and still obey the rules of grammar.
I think I found the compromise: the postposition.
The postposition is a new part of speech that I am introducing.
It contains the same words as the preposition does, but its only use is to appear at the ends of sentences.
Thus, a person can end a sentence with whatever word he wants. If others complain about that sentence ending in a preposition, the speaker can defend himself by claiming the word he used did sound like a preposition but was actually a postposition. Therefore, he is allowed to end a sentence with it. Game over.
He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me.
