Silly Brits.

And I was an editor on a law journal for two years, which like all good American publications required the Oxford comma, so I became used to correcting people's omission of it.
complains about grammar

starts a sentence - no, a PARAGRAPH - with a 100% entirely massively redundant 'And'

1. You're way late to the party; foa already highlighted one actual error, albeit a typo.

2. Use of "And" or "But" to start a sentence is not a grammar error. It can be unprofessional, so I wouldn't do it all the time in a formal paper, but it's not "wrong." And in casual e-conversation, I type how I talk, which includes more informal speech and colloquialisms (neither of which are "wrong" in that context).

3. Your face is dumb.
