9 March 2017 - albeit

The word “albeit” was formerly rare, but ever since I was born its use has been rising. I first learned the word in school, where I was wrongly taught that it is a preposition, so I’m pretty sure it is not my fault. Probably somebody a little older has been spreading the word. The only way to stem the tide and save the language is a stem-to-stern search for the true culprit it stems from.
