According to Winston Churchill, it's okay to end a sentence with a preposition. In fact, when he was criticized for doing so, he said: "This is the sort of errant pedantry up with which I shall not put."

Freshman (at Harvard): "Excuse me, can you tell me where the library is at?"
Senior (in condescending tone): "At Haw-vud, we do not not end our sentences in prepositions."
Freshman: "Very well. Can you tell me where the library is at, a$$hole?"
