This is a general question about ending sentences with
prepositions. 
It formally appears to be an illegitimate deed, but
such forms are universally spoken and otherwise used.

Did those constructs officially (whatever that means)
become an accepted standard?
How is that treated in ole England? Does Ms. Thatcher
use the title phrase as freely  as Reagan?

Do somebody knows?
And stuff.
