The “don’t end a sentence with a preposition” idea has been laughed out of the rule book.

Someone tried to institute it in the 19th century because it’s a rule in Latin but, after a few decades of be-wrinkled academics attempting to impose it on everyone so they could look intellectually superior for using it, the spirit of Common Sense caused it to be vomited into the waste bin of stupid ideas, where it always belonged.

It’s not incorrect.
