Question: Why is it incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition?

I think this one is backwards:

"Don't use unnecessary prepositions, either at the end or in the middle of a sentence. If you can leave off the preposition, and it doesn't change the meaning, you should leave it off. Where will Teyla be meeting you at? sounds better aloud and looks better on paper as Where will Teyla be meeting you?."

What do you mean?

[mashfanficchick]

Um, ignore that. I misread the word "as" as "than" ("...looks better on paper than..."). Sorry. *blushes*

[skroberts]

I was very confused. :P
