>> Now that said, while the higher education and sophistication levels of the person expressing himself in the terms of your first example are obvious, at least the person, who came up with the latter version still knows how to express himself in clear if not so fancy terms. Yes, I agree. But the requirement of not ending in a preposition is more of a "guideline," I'd say, than a hard-and-fast rule. I guess it depends on how formal one wants to be. There was a time when you didn't start a sentence with "And." Today, it is commonly seen in scholarly writing. And some of us can't help but put two spaces after a period (.) even though we're told it is bad form; I learned to type on a typewriter and I just don't think that habit is going to die anytime soon.
