Different horses for different courses!

In response to And... (Ferpectly right!)
Starting a sentence with And is for colloquial spoken language, so then if you have a "horse" who teaches spoken English, then so what.
If you are a grammar teacher, then you will be neatly polishing your sentences, and NO, don't start a sentence with And.
So when you five year olds are reading this board, just remember,that some people do actually write-how they would speak out loud.
And that is fine for you little junior learners of English.
All you have to do is relax, and wait till you're just a little bit older, until you get your turn at
proper written language. There is a difference.
"AND HAVE FUN!" I wish you many many icecreams and hapiness!
