It's simply not true to say we don't end
a sentence with a preposition.
We do and we can.
The idea that we
shouldn't is a hangover from Latin and is more a convention of strong debate
tactics than it is of good grammar.
Unfortunately it has been adopted by
the most conservative grammarians as a rule even though there are good reasons
why it can be abandoned.
In my opinion language can be made more awkward and
less clear by applying the idea of no ending prepositions.
I say abandon
it and end your sentences with with.

As Winston Churchill observed, "This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put."
