According to Merriam-Webster it is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with.

The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin…there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong. Yay

That probably explains why English is really awkward if you try to avoid ending in a preposition. Now I going go all in.

If I can give myself permission, it will save hours of reworking a single sentence.
