Hi famachar and Issamous!

Yes, I see no problem with ending a sentence with "with". (Especially if it's in quotes, like there.) Wouldn't a better term than "preposition" have been "relational"? It seems that prepositions deal mainly with spacial, temporal, containment, or possessive relations between the two pieces they link (with one of the pieces sometimes being only implicitly represented). At least, a couple minutes thinking about them led me to come up with those categories... we might need to consider a few more.

Maybe the problem some people have with ending a sentence with them is that it defies what "preposition" seems to say about itself -- that it must precede something in the sentence?
