Ending sentences with prepositions, and misusing “then” in place of “than” in a sentence.

My son took a Spanish class last Spring. On the syllabus, the teacher had written, " First we will take a placement test, so I can find out where each student is at."

This from a MA in education !

Ending sentences with prepositions is something with which I simply will not put. After all, language is not something around with which to fool.

Ending sentences with prepositions,

This fellow agreed with you...

From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put. -Sir Winston Churchill
