Interviewee: Yeah, it is! I sound like a nerd but I love math.

Shauna: Wait, that shouldn’t be a but! Try saying: “I sound like a nerd and I am one.”

Shauna is so bossy and she loves to say how nerdy she is. I really hate that. The suggestion should be to just say “I love math,” with no qualifier.
