In response to don't start a sentence with 'AND' (q)

Listen, grammar mavens. We're not writing Literature; we're writing letters. Creatively writing letters. So I think we're allowed to use sentence fragments. Stops and starts. Emoticons--find a place for those in your grammar book. And maybe not even letters, posts. They're a new form of writing; maybe all the old rules don't apply. Anyway, as long as we're communicating, ideas flowing around, it's loose and cool; let's enjoy it. :)
