What Churchill, Fowler, and most grammarians did not know, is that what they thought was a preposition, and thus could not come at the end of a phrase, was an adposition, or postposition, and therefore was correct in its place. It is perfectly correct to say "What is the world coming to?" or how much will you sell it for? There is no misplacement of the preposition to or for. They are postpositions, not prepositions. All are forms of what is properly called an adposition linguistically. There are also interpositions and circumpositions. e.g. Word for word, and from now on. ambipositions are functions of the preposition as both pre and post. EC<:-}
