=== difference between but and however ===
* both words create a contrast
** ''but'' creates a contrast <u>and</u> combines two sentences
** ''however'' creates a contrast between <u>ideas</u> (created by a verb), not <u>sentence parts</u>
* but = coordinating conjunction
** it combines independent clauses (with a comma)
** (but can also be a preposition, but that's not for this entry)
* however = conjunctive adverb
** it is an adverb because it modifies a predicate (verb + additional info)
** it compares clauses, sentences or ideas
*** in this sense, however is synonymous with "nevertheless"
