That most awkward sentence "For what is WWB good", which avoids
ending the sentence with a preposition, reminds me of the famous quip
by Sir Winston Churchill, who, when told by one of his secretaries
that he had ended a sentence with a preposition, replied:

"This is an impertinence up with which I shall not put."
