If you teach writing and have awards for public speaking (?), please don't end sentences with prepositions.

While I agree with you in principle, a Grammar Nazi should really learn what a preposition is before claiming someone ended a sentence with one! :)

As an aside, the poster you are referring to DID deserve a dressing down for being an elitist, but you make yourself look dumb by making demonstrably false accusations.

You obviously missed the joke.

Larger point: no one cares.
