Re: Word meanings and usage.........
During my time spent in college class, I once got into a heated disagreement with my English Literature professor. I had used the word however in a manner which he had judged improper grammar. It's regretable, but to this day, I'm unable to remember exactly how I put this word to use. Nevertheless, I remember being convinced that he was being much too strict in his interpretation about the many uses of this word.
Webster's defines however as:
in whatever manner
to whatever degree
nevertheless
also
I can think of a couple other uses for this word and following, I have listed them:
on the other hand
in any case
in any event
Can anyone of you members add to this list?
BTW, that was the only class where I received a mark less than a (B). When one understands that this professor failed over half the class, I suppose I should be grateful that he gave me a (D)...........Infy
