I feel that But is a “cancelling word” and used best when cancelling a negative whereas And is an enhancing word

For instance, your room is still messy BUT thank you for starting the cleaning process. (Cancels out the negative)

Thank you for cleaning your room AND I know you’ll keep it up. (Enhances the positive, where a But would cancel out the person’s work.)

Great LPT and your tip will help others!

Yea. No shaking hands in Japan, Germany, Mexico, nor Canada, mate. What’s your point?

I guarantee my business ain’t on the streets if there’s business to be done.

So, again, what’s your point? Because my point is this- don’t shake hands on the streets when there’s business to be done.
