It's a bit like traffic signs: "Danger ahead". "One Way Street". "Do not exceed 30 mph". "No U turn for the next fifty miles". The English are good that way. First they don't teach you anything, then they expect you to follow their rules and drive on the wrong side of the road.<br /><br />It's not easy to avoid 'but'. It's an interjection which does put people's hackles up before you so much as finished your sentence and put a counter argument. Your counter argument might be perfectly reasonable, yet all the the other person hears is BUT. As they say, Shackman, it's all in the packaging. So when you are a shark do smile before you swallow.<br /><br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
