Whew! Another chef d'oevre or maybe even a tour de force. I haven't looked it up, but I suspect our pre-Norman Old English language base would have no problem with prepositions at the end of the sentence. It may be falsely analogous, but those German compound verbs often leave "auf" or "zu" at the end of the sentence, and I have heard French people leave "avec" dangling at the end of a sentence as well.

Great post.
