Yeah, it definitely sounds better in many instances. I was just giving her a hard time.
There are also situations where it sounds better to sound a sentence with a preposition, even though that usually makes a part of me die inside.
Technically right: "To whom are you writing that letter?"
Technically wrong but sounds less snobby: "Who are you writing that letter to?"
