    Thanks. Now why aren’t Mr. Whamond’s political cartoons on GoComics? Enquiring (or at least idly curious) minds want to know!

    In point of fact, the “up” in “I won’t put up with this” is not being used as a preposition but as an adverb. (Consider the complaint “Prices have gone up.”) Alternatively, “put up” is a phrasal verb. Either way, there’s no reason that a sentence can’t end with “up,” even if one does follow the rule about prepositions.

    All this silliness is something with which I will not put up.
