What's your "in addition"?
IN ADDITION.
That's my overly repetitive phrase. I tend to use it all the time. My paragraphs never seem complete without it. In addition (tadaa!), I just like how it adds that sophisticated feel to my words, without sounding bombastic (yuck!)
Mel likes to use "nevertheless". She says her colleague, Z, likes to use "considering".
It even applies to the Malay language. In school, I used to love repeating "justeru itu" (which means: "as such") in my essays. I could just feel an "A" coming my way everytime I put one down.

Oh no you exposed my favourite word! I think it's the four (4) 'e's that are attractive to me. I should try to put that down in scrabulous! n-e-v-e-r-t-h-e-l-e-s-s
Oh and my malay favourite is 'walau bagaimanapun'(meaning although/nevertheless). Such a long phrase! It fills half a line in handwriting!
Mine when I was in uni was "......, you know?"
Now, I noticed I like to say "padahal". I don't know how else to say it in English quite as aptly :P
Mine is "however" and "although."
And speaking of Scrabulous, HOWEVER would be a kick-ass word.
Wow Praveen, I just noticed the very cool footnote you have here "All Rites Reversed - reprint what you like". (Is this the norm or am i just lagging?)
