Was your English teacher wrong?!

never end a sentence with a preposition
you represent the United States
government never end our sadness with a
preposition really though is it really a
rule or is it just pedantic bastards
making life set just find out maybe once
innocently you said how long have you
been waiting for and your pedantic
friend who correct your grammar all the
time will save this you never end a
sentence with a preposition there’s an
easy solution don’t be friends with this
person anymore now of course you could
say and for how long have you been
waiting that’s fine but it sounds a bit
formal and in casual conversation sounds
a bit out of place guess who we have to
blame for this rule the Romans it’s
always the Romans well this rule comes
from Latin grammar and in Latin ish
languages like French Spanish and
Italian the rule still follows and make
sense but in English it just sounds a
bit weird if you follow this rule to the
letter
the main reason phrasal verbs look at
this phrasal verb sentence who do you
get on with would you really say on with
whom do you get no that sounds
ridiculous even Winston Churchill yeah
this guy even he didn’t like this rule
someone criticized him for ending a
sentence with a preposition to which he
replied that’s the sort of thing up with
which I will not put he was so cool
however some of the things that Winston
Churchill was supposed to have said were
actually made up up were made some of
the things Winston Churchill said see
what I mean today’s English doesn’t
really fit so wait should we always end
a sentence with a preposition if that’s
what you’re telling me well no it sounds
like a better constructed sentence if
you follow that rule if that sentence
doesn’t end in a phrasal verb and that’s
it well done you learned a thing now go
and get some icecream
