Yeah, it's kind of like the don't start a sentence with "and" rule. People do it in books all the time though. I guess if it's just once in a while. I don't think you could get away with it on a school test, but in a novel or something you can pretty much do what you want.

Yeah, that is bad grammar in my book. I try not to start sentences with "but" but I do anyways. Pretty soon, we'll be starting sentences with "and".

'But' is a connective word between two simple sentences in formal English. 'However', is generally used to begin the sentence in formal English. 'But' can be used in informal English to begin a sentence.

Yeah, I was always taught that, too. I don't know why they're changing the rules.

lately i've seen (and used it myself) the word "and" to start a sentence too.
