Sorry! I'm a grammar geek, too!
Actually, you can end a sentence with a preposition to your heart's content--no rules of grammar are violated by doing it. Such usage, however, can easily result in prepositions with unclear or completely missing objects, which can make it difficult to determine a sentence's meaning. It is better to avoid ending with prepositions in the first place (especially in formal writing), but it isn't like saying "they is going to the house" or some other clearly incorrect grammatical construct.
