Hi!
Can "nevertheless and "nonetheless" be used interchangeably?
Also, does the meaning change when either replaced by "however", "though" or "although"?
Are the following sentences correct?
#1 League leader Portsmouth dominated, nevertheless/nonetheless it lost the game to struggling Bolton.
#2 It seemed too hard to handle for the government to put new laws into effect. It managed (to deal with it) nevertheless/nonetheless.
#3 There had been protests against unpopular reforms throughout the whole country, but the government didn't resigned nevertheless/nonetheless.
I'd appreciate native speakers' (preferably AE) help.
Thank you!
