But&And at the Beginning of a Sentence
In Japan, BUT or AND shouldn't be used at the beginning of a sentence as it is too frank or grammatically wrong.
However, I have seen such BUTs and ANDs many times even in articles written by English speakers.
Which is true?
Thanks in advance.

Exactly. If you abide by the formal rules of English grammar in casual conversation, some people find rather off putting.

No. That is also grammatically incorrect according to my English professor in college.

It is considered -- informal to begin a sentence with "but" or "and". People normally ignore this when texting. This can be slipped by the editor, especially if the editor is editing for content rather than grammar.
"I like dogs. But I also like cats." is better written as "I like dogs but I also like cats."

When talking to friends, I think it is okay to use it since people don't really mind. However, when you are using it in formal contexts, better not use it. (Ex: writing school paper, thesis writing, etc.)

So, except for highly formal contexts, it is allowed to use it, though it is grammatically incorrect?
Is it rather unnatural to avoid using those expressions too much?
