“But”
You can append this word to just about any sentence and it magically destroys any meaning you were looking to convey.
“Yes, I think that dress looks amazing on you”
“I would have been on time”
I don’t want to be rude”
BUT
As we share our thoughts with people, take a step back and think if the word but appears in your sentence are you being entirely honest.
But isn’t a word that should be used lightly, and it doesn’t excuse the word that follow it.
Tread carefully and don’t be a pain in the BUT.
