Of course, Shakespeare happily ended sentences with prepositions, no matter what your gramamr school teacher taught you. The rule you cite was invented by noisome people in the 19th century who thought that English shouldn't have any structures that Latin lacks. (In Latin it is in fact prohibited to end sentenced with prepositions.) > You could get even more techincal and remove the passive voice, but I don't > believe its necessary. Why is that more technical? Because the passive voice is ungrammatical? Because it's tainted with non-free software? Because it's trendy to never use the passive voice?
