well, 5 times anyway.
Mike, "but" can serve as a conjunction, a preposition, an adverb, or a noun in sentences. This word is commonly categorized under conjunctions because it can connect two clauses together and form a single sentence. If you state a trueism denoting a conceived fixed position on a subject you can then commence to put forth an argument against it by using that joining word "but". Incredibly handy.
Good, eh!
