The Newspaper..

Hey everyone, so today I was reading the newspaper ann noticed twice that sentences began with the word "and" and another time the word "but".

This makes me think that really it is becoming more accepted to start sentences with bad grammar?

Would this be true?

    There were tornadoes in the Warrior Forum, 2 web designers, 2 guru's, 1 noob and a formidable copywriter were killed. And there were many other injuries caused by flying rubble. All in all Allen the owner wasn't impressed with the happenings but he is still glad to have his forum in one piece and not demolished.

    The sentences were much like that.. they had and's at the beginning. Surely it means somehting has changed if newspapers are doing it?

    Yes. The language is being destroyed before our very eyes, but it's not new. I've been noticing it for a long time. It's becoming common to read or hear terms like "less taxes", and words like "conversate".

    Kids are growing up functionally illiterate, and nobody seems to notice. Maybe some day they'll call for help. (somebody will get that)
