00:00

Thank you We sneak and here's your smoke du jour

00:05

brought to you by catholic sisters Like most sisters they're

00:08

always borrowing each other's Clothing are check out this passage

00:12

scamming non no elderly Because i'm spending money is him

00:21

For the money All right how would you change the

00:25

bolo underlying portion of the passage if it all nevertheless

00:29

and hear the financial answers All right what do you

00:31

think Well nevertheless is not what poe's raven kept squawking

00:35

about Uh we're not sure we tuned it out after

00:37

about the fifth time Say something interesting or fly back

00:40

outside and bother someone else That's our feelings on the

00:42

matter Okay passage time Where does nevertheless show up And

00:47

what other words have it surrounded Well here we go

00:50

Well the scam began when soto maior claiming to be

00:54

a new jersey priest called a fatima sister and said

00:57

that a deceased member of his parish community had named

01:00

her the beneficiary of a two point one million dollar

01:03

estate Nevertheless none of it was true Wow this guy

01:08

seems like a real sweetheart We're pretty sure impersonating a

01:10

priest a swindle Nuns ranks right up there with pickpocketing

01:13

and orphan and mugging a puppy who could ever hold

01:16

up a face like that at gunpoint So we get

01:18

a description of everything sotomayor told this poor woman and

01:22

then we're told that nevertheless none of it was true

01:25

Well the word nevertheless can be used to show a

01:27

contrast but we're more likely to use it when something

01:30

is true But a second thing happens anyway like it

01:33

was true that tunney's big sister sara had gotten a

01:35

ride in front seat of the last four trips to

01:38

the mall Nevertheless she was going to sit there again

01:41

because what was that little pip squeak going to do

01:44

about it Or tania The point is nevertheless a quite

01:46

work here so let's shop around what's option b selling

01:50

could it be on the other hand And we've basically

01:52

got same issue here that we had with never less

01:55

when we say on the other hand were generally considering

01:57

two opposing possibilities like sarah considered being nice for once

02:01

and offering her sir is in the front seat on

02:03

the other hand being mean made her feel oh so

02:06

much better though it ain't b d consequently well we

02:09

use this word when one thing is a consequence of

02:12

another obviously which isn't the case in this passage It

02:15

might be if we said something like sarah was unyielding

02:19

in her insistence that she once again sit infront consequently

02:22

Tanya kick the back of her sister see the entire

02:24

ride Well we can scratch the which leaves us with

02:27

seat Of course yeah we're just kind of saying that

02:30

based on what we've been told previously about this soda

02:33

moya our character were not the least bit surprised that

02:36

he'd pull something like this So we throw in of

02:39

course in there and option c it is Oh and

02:41

of course tania totally forgot about her sister's ability and 00:02:45.09 --> [endTime] pull the recline lever
