Since I noted someone apologize for ending a sentence with a
preposition, I thought I'd share a quote from Winston Churchill.
A woman came up to him after a speech he gave and said, "Mr. Churchill,
you ended a sentence with a preposition!" He replied, "My dear lady,
that is just the sort of rule, up with which I will not put!"
