"Ooooops, ended 2 sentences consecutively with a preposition.....Obviously I wasn’t an English major."
Our English language has Germanic roots where ending sentences with preposition is common because the preposition is part of the verb.

I wish I had known that about German in college. (I knew English had strong Germanic origins!) English professors challenging my endings with prepositions. I would have answered with ‘expressing the Germanic roots of English’.
Probably wouldn’t have worked!

There is an interesting youtube video where the author does a conversation in English using only Germanic origin words. It’s perfectly understandable. It does sound odd. It reminds one of a Hollywood B movie that takes place in medieval times where they try to make the dialogue sound ‘medieval’.
