WRONG. It's absolutely okay to start a sentence with a conjunction. BUT, you probably should not try it because you wouldn't know the grammatically correct way to use it....
That's why "You People" are sickness and sickening too.
The extent of your argumentative debates
goes something like this due to your massive psychological insecurities.
I make a statement as such- 1+ 1 equal 2.You counter,....well,not really because ,blah ze ' blah ze' blah ze'......You just did as I have described- and that is " of course you can start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction,and prepositions "etc,etc,etc,
I will go back to my elementary school days to explain to you why....
Knowing the definition of a declarative sentence,and that is one that expresses complete thought,now when you start a sentence with the coordinating conjunction such as- and- it being a coordinator implies that ,that is a continuation or the connector of the prefixing thought,therefore starting a sentence with and means thought you want to convey has not been conveyed unless you go back to the preceding scripture paragraph or sentence
( writings not Bible,fool)especially if that is the opening paragraph, or opening of what ever literary item you are reading. If you don't believe me consult any Russian,or N Korean, or Iranian or Chinese linguistics expert....but don't hand me the " no,not really....." BS'
.P.S.you can ease your psychological insecurities by knowing that I was taught that by other white people like you.
