Yes, I agree with Tdol both have the same meaning and are used in formal communication. Perhaps "nevertheless" has a higher usage frequency than "nonetheless". Another difference has to do with word order. "Nonethless" can occur in final position as in: The texts are old but a lot of people are interested, nonethless.

Hello!

Well, I thought the right answer was "nevertheless", because It'doesn't sound good, 'nonetheless",

, anyway, you know better the same meaning of this two words..

bye!

Hi everyone, This is Ali here, I'm a newbie and joined this website/forum just now, and boom! I already have a question.

I've heard americans say, 'I'm going to lay down' where as it should be 'I'm going to lie down'. I understand it might be simply a colloquial way of saying it, but it sounds so ridiculous as if they have never been to school. why so much ignorance?

Ali, you made me laugh out loud here! I was aware of the colloquial use or maybe wrong use of lay and lie, but to ask it the way you just have was hilarious!hehehe

Ignorance might be a bit harsh. Hardly anyone is perfect in English. For example, some people don't capitalize Americans or the first word of every sentence.

The 'lay down' usage is also found in some regions in the UK.

It is very common in the Midwest US. It took me years to correct the habit and I still slip at times. Is there a 12-step program for this?

Poll: It was very hard. ___, they finally managed to do it.
