- "When Mr. Szabo, 24, graduates soon from law school, he will be free to go wherever in the world he wants. But Mr. Birtalan, 18, was required to sign a contract at the beginning of his first year as a sociology major because of a new rule introduced in September. As a beneficiary of the state-funded university system, he will be obliged to work for two years in Hungary for every year of his subsidized studies." Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me - particularly since leaving the country to work elsewhere only seems to involve paying the non-subsidized tuition fees. That said, I'm glad I'm not subject to such a system.

Unless you have a particular reason for preferring the slower comma, however, comma, not only may you begin a sentence with but: you really should do it."
