LOL...that’s a good one and one of my pet peeves drilled into me by my 6th grade English teacher, Miss Erbaugh, who also taught us sentence diagramming.

To this day, I see so many ending sentences with prepositions...and I’d have my knuckles rapped if I did that in her class.

Much more offensive, than a dangling participle, imo.

As Winston Churchill said, "That is something up with which I will not put."
