That is true, but ending sentences with prepositions still makes you sound like you don't know how to English. "Where are you at?" Just no. Why add the extra word that doesn't clarify anything? "Where are you going to?" Even writing it makes me cringe. Granted, if doing otherwise would make the sentence sound awkward, go for it. e.g. "Ending sentences with prepositions? That is something up with which I will not put!" I am such a pedantic nerd that I still write that way and try to find a way to make it sound less awkward.

No it doesn’t. That’s just something people made up.
> Where are you at
Sounds fine to me, and I’m a native English speaker.
> Why add the extra word
Language is an organic system that evolves mostly randomly. We can’t and shouldn’t expect it to be logically consistent.
