P.S. You should be grateful that you made sooooooo many grammatical errors in that last post (and others) to me that pointing them out and referencing them would have taken up entirely too much space, besides being too time-consuming! Holy Strunk's!!

Surely a master of prose such as yourself understands that a writer may freely choose to violate the rules of grammar when it suits his purposes? Save the grammar books for the high school students. A skilled writer will on occasion start sentences with a conjunction or use sentence fragments. Sometimes it is useful in making a point or for stylistic reasons. This is not uncommon in literature. Umm, you did study literature at some point along to way to getting that journalism degree, didn't you? A survey course in Major British Writers, perhaps?
