Malcolm Gladwell was the invited speaker at this year's corporate
"kickoff". Not bad. As a Canadian company, we make sure to invite
famous Canadians, but all of them seem to be working in the US ...
Anyway, he said something along the lines of:
Yes, this distinction is crude and simplified. It is also useful.
I've heard this construction numerous times; it still strikes me as
odd. There should be a "but" in there. I find myself bothered by too
many "but"s even in my own writing, but this is a place where I find
"also" misleading. There must be other alternatives.
