CON:

“A preposition is something not to end a sentence with.” — Numerous fourth grade teachers of English grammar.

PRO:

“That is the sort of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put!” — Winston Churchill, on being criticized by an aide for ending a sentence with a preposition.

SORT OF HARD TO INTERPRET:

“Well, honey, the right way to end that sentence is with a proposition.” — Mae West.
