Yes, and relatively recently too (lots of this sort of "all languages should be Latin" nonsense is from the 1700s).
You probably know the old joke, a visitor is on the Harvard campus, and says to one of the passing students:
Visitor: Excuse me, can you tell me where the library's at?
Student: Here at Harvard, sir, we do not end a sentence with a preposition.
Visitor: I do beg your pardon. Allow me to rephrase my question. Can you tell me where the library's at, you pompous asshole?
[I mean, if one is going to make up silly rules, at least they should have enough knowledge to know that the relevant domain in which the ridiculous rule would be applied isn't the sentence, but the clause.]
