How do people feel about using a colon after an incomplete sentence? For example, is it wrong to say, "... among these things are: soap, water, and computer chips"? My instinct is to agree with Strunk and White that a colon can only follow a complete sentence, but I see more and more writers (some of them quite good) using colons in the other way.
