It's tagged "old-fashioned", but is this even a valid sentence?
> There is no rule but has some exceptions.
I think the basic structure "There is no X but has Y" would have been valid in Shakespeare's time. His play "King Lear" contains the line "For there was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass," which basically means "No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will make faces at herself in a mirror." However, nowadays, when "but" is used in a similar way, it is almost always followed directly by a noun phrase.
By contrast, the "has some exceptions" part of the sentence feels like a more modern formulation. Though I'm not enough of an expert on Shakespearean language to make a definitive statement, the combination of the two kinds of English makes me uncomfortable. That, together with the fact that the sentence is unowned, leads me to think I should adopt and change it.
