The following paragraph is from SPOGG's front page: The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar is for pen-toters appalled by wanton displays of Bad English. (And we're not talking about Bad English, the band, although their song "Heaven is a 4 letter word" needs a hyphen.) When did it become okay to begin a sentence with a conjunction? Also, the word although in the last sentence should have a semicolon before it and a comma after it. I think that the red pen should be used for writers on your site.
