LOL, good point - though I have to admit, as a native-born Midwesterner, I end every other sentence a preposition with.

Ending a sentence with a preposition, often indicates poor sentence structure.

But there are some rules which we need not put up with.

Does not need to be written:

But there are some rules up with which we need not put.

A better structure would be:

We need not put up with some rules.
