}}A {{tag|preposition}} is a word, like [[with]] or [[to]] or [[of]], with which one should not end of a sentence — ''if you’re speaking {{tag|Latin}}''. Since (if you’re smart) you’re not, you may put your preposition wherever you damn well please. Like the pendant’s aversion to [[split infinitive]]s, the stricture that “one should not end sentences with [[preposition]]s” is is a bogus grammatical rule to boldly be dismissive of. | }}A {{tag|preposition}} is a word, like [[with]] or [[to]] or [[of]], with which one should not end of a sentence — ''if you’re speaking {{tag|Latin}}''.
