WORD of the day
albeit/awl-BEE-it/; conjunction
: conceding the fact that : even though : although
Example sentence: Frank does not close many tickets, albeit he pursues them with a gusto many of his teammates seem to lack.
Usage of this word was quite common until around 1900. At that time, it kind of fell off the radar for awhile, only to reemerge after 1930 and achieve a strong comeback. Use it today when talking to an American and he or she won’t think you an oddball, honest. Just try not to say anything crazy like: Hey, I’m going to close this ticket, sir, albeit your system is still down!
