At the risk of starting a grammar debate - ending sentences (in English)
with prepositions is acceptable. (No matter what you 8th grade English
teacher or your Latin teacher told you)

Overheard in the lobby of the Alexis Park Inn:

Guest: "Exceuse me, sir, can you tell me where the bathroom is at?"

Inn Manager: "One should never end a sentance with a preposition."

Guest: (scratches his head - looks a littl annoyed) "Well, umm, can you
tell me where the bathroom is at . . . asshole?"
