Not exactly the point you're asking, but pg made a point [0] about spelling that I think about:
pg:
"11 yo asked why he had to learn spellings. I told him honestly that although spelling may not really matter, if he couldn't spell, people would think he was stupid. And that was sufficiently motivating."
Can I End a Sentence with a Preposition? [1]
Generally you can (as others and the article points out), but I would suggest you use it in a very limited manner. I still hear my high school teachers frightening chastising voice and it stops me doing it. :)
When people realize they can do it (or hear others doing it) they tend to overuse it for everything and it can drive those around you mad. That's when you get in the territory that pg describes IMHO.
One things that makes my skin crawl, is when I hear people speaking (loudly) into their mobile (which for some reason always seems to be in speaker mode) "Hello? Where you at?". /shiver
