Oh my, Cap't K... sorry about that.. i know i use alot of just the sort of things that leave you knee deep in the water!

but think of albeit-- a word, that i think is rather common orally, is found in the dictionary, and has even been round forever (well at least since the 14th C.) but is rarely used in formal writing.. (it does it just seem that way to me.. i can't think of ever seeing it written except in the dictionary.)

it is a conjuntion of "all though it be": and its used to conceed a fact.

I always wonder how the word order gets turned round. i bet some 15th C. scholar was agast at albeit. and felt him self knee deep, awash is falling standards..

well, give up, the waters over the dam!


my other obsession
