As I was reading the article it occured to me that there is a "rule" stating that you are not supposed to end a sentance with a preposition. I was not aware of that, and find it interesting that I have gone this long never hearing about it. One rule I am very aware of is that you are not supposed to start a sentance with a conjunction. It is nice to now know that it has always been an option and I plan to be doing so from now on whenever I see fit. The note that the author left saying that yes one can start a sentance with a conjection but no one cannot follow it with a comma is a very helpful tip. I personally try my best to stay grammatically correct, and this article was an interesting tool to use to help me.
