Not ending sentences with prepositions.

That's actually a bull**** rule foisted upon the English language hundreds of years ago by stuck-up intellectuals trying to apply Latin grammar rules to English. It's often perfectly acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition, no matter what your conformist English teachers taught you.
Quote:
The word ‘preposition’ ultimately derives from Latin prae ‘before’ and ponere ’to place’. In Latin grammar, the rule is that a preposition should always precede the prepositional object that it is linked with: it is never placed after it. According to a number of other authorities, it was the dramatist John Dryden in 1672 who was the first person to criticize a piece of English writing (by Ben Jonson) for placing a preposition at the end of a clause instead of before the noun or pronoun to which it was linked.
This prohibition was taken up by grammarians and teachers in the next two centuries and became very tenacious. English is not Latin, however, and contemporary authorities do not try to shoehorn it into the Latin model. Nevertheless, many people are still taught that ending a sentence or clause with a preposition should be avoided.

What would you say is the sexiest feature a person can have is?
Boobs. Not afraid to admit I'm shallow. I love boobs. I. Love. Boobs. But if we're talking non-physical traits, then I gotta go with my man Exo_ on a sense of humor. I have a left-field sense of humor, and often when I make some weird joke I get the normies giving me a blank stare, as if it's not patently obvious that I wasn't serious about the ridiculous thing I just said. Man or woman, when I get that stare, I know that there is little to no chance that that person and I will ever be anything more than acquaintances.
What is the most recent album you've fallen in love with?
My comic book obsession has kept me from listening to much new music these days, and usually then only as background music. The closest thing in recent memory was a live video of an entire Madball concert that had me headbanging and punching the air like a spaz. I say that counts as a live album.
If you could have an instrument owned by one of your favorite artists, what instrument and artist would it/they be?
**** if I know. As a bull**** answer I'll say Yngwie Malmsteen's favorite guitar, just so I can smash it in front of him out of spite.
What was the worst job you've ever had?
I've worked almost entirely in fast food joints, so it's hard to choose. I'll go with Wendy's, just cause it was a small ****hole that was particularly depressing, and, while I didn't dislike any of my coworkers, they were extra boring to me.
Who is/was the most influential friend or family member in your life so far and how would you describe them?
My mother. For the longest time I was pissed at her for her short comings as a parent. She didn't neglect me or anything, she just isn't exactly a natural mother. But as I've become older I've realized that many of the things that I used to hate about her were things that we shared. I don't think you can really accept yourself until you get over your issues with your parents, since you're probably just like them.
What's your favorite snack?
Pizza. There are very few things as satisfying as the ritual of ordering a pizza, waiting for the delivery person, paying them, and then consuming your hard-earned prize.
