I find it so much fun how "directional" transitions are. "That was a great party you had <strong>BUT</strong>..." That one word "but" is taking away everything you said prior and changing directions. Compare that to "That was a great party you had <strong>AND</strong>..." The "and" keeps everything moving in the same direction. "That was a great party you had and... next time you should get more chips." Keep in mind that the "Pattern Based Writing: Quick and Easy Essay" writing program has a lot more where this came from :-) Glad it helped.
