The English language is a fine tool - you'll find it serves you much better if you use it properly.
My pet hate (like many) is apostrophes heaving their way in when they have no business being there at all. English greengrocers are particularly prone to the use of wild apostrophes.
Having said that, I don't really mind the preposition thing at all. I also would ask everyone to bear in mind that, despite what some might claim, there has always been an element of choice in the split infinitive 'rule'.
