Why on earth shouldn't a sentence end with a preposition?
I have at least one style guide that says it is perfectly fine to end a
sentence with a preposition. It can be confusing in some contexts,
though. Hence the rule. You do have a run-on sentence there. But
that's a different matter.
With respect to the preposition, I think the proper term in this case
is enclitic. It is really part of the verb. So it is ok to say:
That is something I won't put up with.
Instead of:
That is something up with which I will not put.
To mildly misquote Winston Churchill.
