Dear Geist,
Where do you stand on the question of whether it’s okay or bad form to start a sentence with the word however? Our writing group remembers being told not to do so, but when we did some research we found nothing persuasive, just miscellaneous half-hearted declarations. Or maybe it's just not an issue?
Geist, 210 - 111 West Hastings Street, Vancouver BC V6B 1H4.
