Preposition entry
I reverted the change to the lede sentence of the preposition entry. It was changed from "A sentence must not end in a preposition" to "Ending a sentence is not how prepositions were intended to be used." It seems like a concise description of the misconception as worded by the sources was changed to a wordier and more convoluted way of saying a slightly different misconception. But since the sources directly support the first statement (e.g., Fogarty says it's a "myth" that "You shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition"), the first sentence seems better on multiple levels. --Airborne84 (talk) 14:42, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
I agree with this reversion. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 19:58, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
