The nonexistent rule that always has driven me insane is the insistence that sentences cannot end in prepositions. I'm aware of no grammar textbook that claims that rule, nor of any style manual that does, but as a teacher and a newspaperman I continually ran afoul of idiots who insist that we follow that rule.
Fine, if I speak Latin, I'll be sure to observe it. Otherwise, don't be ridiculous. It makes sentence structure too pain-in-the-neck and ruins the smooth flow of a thought.
