The New Yorker website is, apparently, written by 19th century schoolmarms. People, this has to stop! English is not Latin, never was Latin, and never will be Latin! We can end sentences in prepositions and split infinitives to our heart's content and still be grammatically correct.
(Apologies to the ghost of Winston Churchill for the paraphrase in this entry's title.)
