Nonsense Up With Which We Shall Not Put

What follows was swiped from a recent post by Doug Wilson giving writing counsel:

In the 18th century, during the ascendancy of the English dictionary makers and grammarians, it was foolishly thought that Latin was superior to English, and that things that couldn't be done in Latin, like ending sentences with prepositions, shouldn't be done in English. This is where we get the absurd rule that one must never, ever end a sentence with a preposition. As Winston Churchill put it, "that's the sort of nonsense up with which we shall not put."

Ahh, grammar and godliness.  Music to my ears, honey to my tongue, refreshment to my bones.
