Bill Buckley told us years ago that it was perfectly ok to end a sentence with a preposition so I decided to listen to him and forget what I learned in English classes...

HOWEVER, I believe it’s still bad English and bad grammar to say, “Where were you at?” It’s too “red neckish”....has nothing to do with ending the sentence with a preposition..

Exactly! Besides, I believe the expression is, “Where you at?”
