"detrimental" (normally followed by "effect" or "impact).
Also end up writing "juxtaposition", "thus" and "ultimately" a lot. ^^

But "detrimental"'s gotta be my favourite. <3

I used Microcosm on tuesday which is great since I'd never even heard that word before about Sunday.

Consequently, deduced, antiquated, Reductio ad absurdum, Ipso facto. I sometimes worry the examiner isn't going to understand them.

furthermore


I thought I was the only one

definitely furthermore or subsequently
It's a phrase but: 'while acknowledging that...'

I use it for adding an alternate view point :biggrin:

I love 'inveighing against' - to make a verbal attack against someone

Whenever possible to be honest, no idea why hehe
Perfunctory

Nonchalantly
Furthermore, subsequently, thus. I think 'thus' is definitely my favourite :h:
