But we much all remember that the word shit was most likely introduced into todays vernacular by the lowest common denominator, who do not know jack shit about grammar, and nor would they give a shit anyway.
FYI: when When correcting or commenting on grammar, it is best to ensure that you are also correct (the rest of the time, it is not as important).
There is no need to put "and" before "nor" - it is improper usage of two conjunctions.

"I took shit yesterday and I already took some shit today." "Mr. Jones, your problem seems to be that you're taking the shit, rather than leaving the shit." "Oh, well Doc, can you give me advices about how to stop taking shit? The missis won't let up!"
In conclusion, stop TAKING shit. Seems like you uppity grammar types would refuse "take(ing) a shit" in preference to "excrete excrement" or "going to defecate" or "off to pass stool" or "make in the (use the) ((toilet)insert geographical slant/slang here), or some such shit otherwise.

Actually, according to the style guide I used when I taught, there was no right or wrong when it came to spacing and capitalization following a colon. It was more a stylistic choice, with the possible exception of a list after a colon, where the accepted punctuation is colon, space, lower-case letter.
