Syn : {
But }, {
However }, {

Usage :
These conjunctions mark opposition in passing from one thought or topic to another .
But marks the opposition with a medium degree of strength ;
as ,
this is not winter ,
but it is almost as cold ;
he requested my assistance ,
but I shall not aid him at present .
However is weaker ,
and throws the opposition (
as it were )
into the background ;
as ,
this is not winter ;
it is ,
however ,
almost as cold ;
he required my assistance ;
at present ,
however ,
I shall not afford him aid .
The plan ,
however ,
is still under consideration ,
and may yet be adopted .
Still is stronger than but ,
and marks the opposition more emphatically ;
as ,
your arguments are weighty ;
still they do not convince me .
See {
Except }, {
However }.
[
1913 Webster ]
Note : "
The chief error with but is to use it where and is enough ;
