| Buying on credit also makes it possible to spread the payments over a period of time. Of course, there is the added cost of interest payments. But the most attractive yet dangerous aspect of the credit system is that you can buy things even if, at the moment, you don't have the money. |
I think that 'yet' could be changed into 'but' or 'and yet'. But I am not sure.
Can you tell me I'm wrong? And also please tell me the difference between 'but' and 'yet' and 'and yet'.
Thanks. |

| You can use 'but' or, 'and yet'. The meaning would be unchanged. |

| However, the sentence wouldn't be as nice with two "buts" in it so close together. |
