Ending a sentence with a proposition is just fine. Picky people whom I've only seen parodies of on the Internet go "oh you ended your sentence with a preposition I have no idea what you mean by 'He went in' maybe you could explain what he went into? A jello mold? A ditch? What did go into?"
You asked if he went into the store and I said he went in, you know what I meant because of CONTEXT CLUES.
I've never met anyone who's ever been this picky but I'm ready to bite them if I ever find one.
Did you mean to say, preposition instead of proposition?
I think that since you're aware of typos and context clues you knew that was the case.
I think they are asking because many people don't know the difference
