Sorry, already do most of those things...and not one person cares.

I doubt I could find one person that matters that actually cares anything about a preposition at the beginning of a sentence. There would be very few jobs that depend on rigid academic grammar that would be worth having. Most intelligent hiring managers care about how well you might actually do the job, not some archaic grammar rule.

FIFY.

Just to join in on what seems to be an amazing morning of off topic posts and pointless bickering.

And, I am not making any claim that my grammar and spelling is worthy of even a passing grade in a JH English class.
