I dreamt the other night about the word 'but' and how we use it. Often it comes with sort of a negative; "Love the dress, 'but' it makes you look ... (fill in the blank). Or "Your party was great, 'but'...
Sometimes, but more seldom it is being used in a sort of positive; "I know you are worried, 'but' maybe you shouldn't be" kind of statement.
In my dream the word 'but' almost became the subject of a whole new book.
So why is it this prevalent in our language. Is it just the beginning of a 'white lie', or does have its own value?
