Never Start A Sentence With 'and' Or 'but'

[dave50]

I was always taught to never start a sentence with 'and' or 'but'. Does anyone else recall being taught this because I see it everywhere these days in books, newspapers and magazines?

Probably a speed awareness course Connemmara, They sometimes offer this option if your done for speeding, and if you accept it ( the course ) then no you don't get the three points.

A lot of the things I was taught in school don't seem to matter now. As for spelling textspeke seems to have put the mockers on that. I even find myself wanting to spell might as mite and put u for you and 4 instead of for, well you know, I could go on and on, (as usual) but I had better stop.
