I also like starting sentences with "and" a lot. I see no reason that can't be done in lieu of the shitty flow you get when you link thoughts with ", and."

There is no reason. I, too, am a fan of the sentence beginning with "and".

I don't know about you, but I see no reason to discontinue the Gaston and Alfonse (is that the correct reference?) routine we began earlier this week.

I used the ", but" to draw a comparison between my dad and others who may pour their beer into glasses but are not necessarily men of style. A ";" might not have captured that so well.

The internet knows everything.

Oh, try handing the wrong partner (read: one who fancies himself the greatest writer alive) a letter with a sentence beginning with "and." You'd swear I'd handed him a photo of his wife being cornholed by the plumber.

Men of style wink. We leave the "nudging" to our less sophisticated, subtlety-challenged brethren.

Damn, that's a sweet fucking reference. I am using that. I am in your debt.

Thanks. Hank has me on ignore so that was the only way I could help convey that constructive advice to him.

I bet he butters his grilled cheese sandwiches.

Do you have Not_Bob and/or the PB on ignore?

I had a partner who had the idea that "however", when used for it's typical meaning, should ALWAYS start a sentence, and never be in the middle. I don't know much, but middle-sentence-however- almost-always is a S&W rule for goodness sakes. I took to not using the word rather than hearing the same "advice" over and over.

Indeed. It is a good thing he has a sense of humor.

It's implied with the ";". That you said it at all creates the comparison. At least for me.

Noted.
