Re: Respect For Atta
Not to be nitpicky but habit only has one 'b'.
Also, you may start a sentence using 'and' but only for emphasis. Authors and writers use it intentionally, however sparingly. Journalists use it frequently. That does not make it correct. I would suggest highly against turning in a term paper in which 'and' was used to begin any sentence.
And for all you naysayers' further enrichment:

STARTING A SENTENCE WITH A CONJUNCTION
In the past, schools were rigid in their ruling that sentences could not start with conjunctions, such as "And" or "But". However, nowadays, this practice is considered acceptable.
I was certain he did it for the money. But, having read his diary, I
have a new theory.
The two most common conjunctions used in this way are "And" (meaning "In addition") and "But" (meaning "However"). It is usual to follow each with a comma.
Whilst it is acceptable to use "And" or "But" to start a sentence, this practice should be limited and only used for effect and impact. If you find yourself using them too often, you should consider changing the style of your writing.
