Contrariwise
An
unwieldy word which is
synonymous
with the phrases "
on the other hand" and
"
on the contrary".
Big,
bulky words
like this are used by
pretentious people
trying to
impress others by showing they
can use
obscure words when an
ordinary
word or phrase is more
suitable.
Contrariwise, variety is the spice of life.
Why confine ourselves to using the
tired and trite phrases when we can dust off
a gem and reintroduce it to everyday usage?
The use of less hackneyed words broadens
the language and enriches us all.
