Some grammar rules can be broken.
You can start a sentence with ‘and’.
And depending on the product and audience, you can even start a sentence with ‘but’.
You can split the infinitive. It’s OK to have a word or two between ‘to’ and whatever you are doing. Sometimes you just have to boldly go.
You can end a sentence with a preposition. Don’t tie your sentence in a knot to avoid finishing with a preposition (e.g. with, on, in, up).
As the saying goes ‘This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put’.
