This is how we speak. The “rules” should indicate how people speak, not how cloistered scholars of Latin and Greek think we should speak.

The grammar Nazis here at FR I prefer to be corrected when I've made a writing or speaking error.
It's how we learn.
Why would anyone want to be an ignorant barbarian?
That is the domain of democrats.

There isn’t any reason to end a sentence with a preposition that I can think of.

Never. I learned that in 1st grade. I can’t tell you how many C level executives I’ve dealt with that say “and, that’s where we’re at” Drives me insane.

That’s probably better than ending a sentence with a proposition.
