Do you put "At" at the end of a sentence?

Such as "Where does he live at?" or "Where have you been at?" or "That's where I've been at."

I just learned recently that this is incorrect?

'Tis the same for Bristolians, except we use 'too' an the end of sentances.

"Where's that too"
"Where are you going too"

it's a dangling preposition and is supposedly incorrect grammar.

however, everyone does it all the time.

another example: who are you going with? should be "with whom are you going?"

"Never end a sentence with a preposition"

Isn't that a rule they teach you in elementary school?

What's a preposition?

A word or phrase placed typically before a substantive and indicating the relation of that substantive to a verb, an adjective, or another substantive such as at, by, with, from etc...

I know what a noun and a verb is. That's about as far as it goes. You're speaking greek to me.

general rule: prepositions should not be the last word of a sentence.

Worse yet is the fact that it is almost always superfluous. In fact, I can't think of a time when it's not.

Like on the Beavis and Butthead movie when the Robert Stack guy wouldn't let the other guy end a sentence with a preposition, and he's all like, "There's the trailer off in which they were whacking!"


How do you write the sentence "Put it in." without ending in a preposition?

Nevermind. I just looked it up, and apparently the correct answer is "Put it in, asshole."

Why? I know how to talk. I don't need to know how to disect a sentence. That's like me saying you're stupid because you can't solve a second order differential equation or derive an equation for pressure on a submerged surface.
