Can you start a sentence with "And" or "But"?? We all need this grammar lesson / Part 1

from TWO REPORTERS · host David K. Shipler & Daniel Zwerdling

Bryan Garner, one of America's grammar gurus, tells us where we're going wrong - and what we're getting right. You're sure to find (you'll surely find?) answers to some of your own burning questions, like (or is it "such as"?): should you feel bad about using adverbs? Or should you feel badly? How will this episode impact your own language? (Actually, is "impact" even a verb?) After hearing our conversation with Bryan, you might not write or speak quite the same way.
