Although (note, although used as a prepository contractor), grammar is too undergoing evolutionary change. It is now correct, according to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, to start any sentence with a preposition if the main theme of the former sentence is reflected in the next. This is to increase fluidity in modern day English and to promote it is a verbal language, rather than written.

Thanks for that Kim. Which edition of the COD is that? It would appear that even the highly conservative guys at the Oxford University English Department are moving with the times, albeit with a disclaimer!
Bill, your insistance that bastardize is actually spelt bastardise [sic] indicates to us all that even you, in a small tiny, quasi-insignificant way, are contributing to the evolution of the English language.
Ultimately, one must question the psyche of a person that comes to an informal car modification forum to correct spelling. It's a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. Not only is it the pinnacle of pedantry, but it is an incredibly insulting, demeaning and patronising act that can only be engendered by an underlying disdain of mediocrity and a sense of elitism. It bears no consideration for those on the forums who have not been as fortunate as yourself and were never potentially afforded the scholastic (and other) opportunities enjoyed by yourself.
I will be adding no further replies, but instead choose to finish with the English translation of an Italian proverb my father shared with me:
"Never argue with a fool. They drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience."
