"Nobody's going to type this statement"
[edit]On [this page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_countries_and_territories_Michael_Palin_has_travelled_to) you wrote: "Nobody's going to type this statement. It is grammatically faulty, ending in a preposition." Guess how I found the page, then?
Also setences ending in prepositions are commonly accepted forms of Englsh. Nobody talks in the "correct" way; the above usage is far more common. It *is* what people will search for.
