Nonetheless and nevertheless both imply an assumption of a premise which neither undermines nor detracts from the subsequent position or point. 'However' implies reasoning from the premise. Thus, the three terms are not always interchangeable.
        I didn't say they were always interchangeable. Nice straw man, tho!

          Are you saying being offended is not a choice?

            Look at you getting all offended when someone crowds your turf.

              Nor did I suggest you did. You said "however" was a preferred alternative and I said I didn't think it was an alternative. But based on your post here I assume when you called it a preferred alternative you really meant it is preferred only sometimes or only occasionally or except for those occasions when it can't be substituted? That makes sense. Thanks.
              PLesa excuse the tpyos.
