I gathered that, based on your "pond" references. I mean, it's funny that
the British have stricter rules about not starting a sentence with a
preposition, and to this American at least, using "save" instead of "but"
there gives the sentence a British flavor. Or flavour.
Not surprising, really, but interesting.
