Can you start a sentence with "And" or "But"?? We all need this grammar lesson / Part 2

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

You'll dazzle friends with the grammar smarts you'll get from our second chat with Bryan Garner, one of America's language gurus. Finally, you're about to learn if you can - or can't -  end a sentence with a preposition; if you can use "like" instead of "as"; and if you can banish "whom" and "whomever" from your brain. Just wait until you hear Bryan's rant about lawyers' terrible writing. Can you guess which common five-letter word (which lawyers love) causes endless legal battles?
