Those are the things that bug me the most.

But I'm not a stickler about split infinitives, beginning a sentence with a conjunction, or ending one with a preposition. Sometimes style and effective communication trumps strict grammar. You should have a strong grounding in the "rules" before you can decide when it is proper and effective to bend or break them.

I would differentiate "grammar" and "style". All the things you mention there I'd class as style, not grammar.
