"Don't end a sentence with a preposition" comes from Latin, where it makes sense in terms of the grammar of that language. A language which is inflection-heavy and which in its classic form used SOV as a default - English does neither of those things and jimmying something so artificial to its very structure on it is another act of useless mental masturbation by a long-dead generation of British idlers. Are you going to let some wild and stupid claim by some dead 17 century dead rich guy from England influence your use of your maternal tongue? Fuck, America was founded on hating people like what come up with that rule ese.

"At" is a preposition and would not be used to end a sentence that is preceded by "Where". "At" indicates "a point or place occupied in space" and the word "Where" also indicates a place, so the word "at" is redundant and adds nothing to the meaning of "Where". "Is" is a verb missing from the sentence, for a more in-depth explanation of "is" please visit http://www.clintonlibrary.gov/ . "Smatter, ain't ja got no learnin'" The correct phrase would be “Where is my hose?”
