Whose high school and college education was lacking because they never learned the meaning of the conjunction "however."

I can't even begin to tell you how many legal papers I have edited in which the author apparently believes all conjunctions have the same meaning . . . just a word you stick between to sentences to make them flow better.

ETA: This isn't age hating . . . I have had a hand in educating around 1000 - 1500 attorneys. The ones who are (now) in their 30s or younger, in my experience, missed out on some of the basics of communication which I was taught by the 7th grade at the latest. I'm pretty sure the person who wrote this is scratching their head at the response questioning the meaning of "exclusive." . . . in my experience, they almost certainly don't understand the difference between "however, since" and "since."
