I'm aware the English language has more exceptions to the rules than otherwise, but you and I both know that "rampant" needs an -ly when not used in commonly recognized slang. You're just being contrary for the sake of Cheerios.

Starting off a sentence off with "but" is horrendously incorrect.

That was intentional. Dramatic pause (<= like that). I'm not so pretentious as to to pretend like you're wrong just to keep this troll-fest going.
