Very clever! Writing rules made to be broken. Here’s what the Chicago Manual of Style says about prepositions: “The traditional caveat of yesteryear against ending sentences with prepositions is, for most writers, an unnecessary and pedantic restriction…A sentence that ends in a preposition may sound more natural than a sentence carefully constructed to avoid a final preposition…The ‘rule’ prohibiting terminal prepositions was an ill-founded superstition.”
I wish I had said all that; however, I didn’t know all that.
