Greetings.
I'd like to ask you if you think using 'inter alia' in a diploma thesis is appropriate or not. Dictionaries say it is 'formal', which I think is OK. But I've found some clues on the internet that it is used mostly in legal texts and my thesis is not the case. So what do you think, please? Should I use 'among other things' instead? I kind of like that phrase but to be honest - I've never encountered it before I looked it up in a dictionary so I'm afraid it may be quite rare.
Thanks for help.
