Geoff,

I have noticed sentences beginning with the coordinating conjunction "For"
with increasing frequency over the past couple of decades. But "But" and
"And" seem to have become pretty common and accepted as sentence starters,
so I would be hard-pressed to nail a kid for this error.

Will the girl be at the meeting? Has she been asked about why she
constructed the sentence this way? Interesting family dynamics, though.
