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.
