I'm trying to write good English even if I'm not a native speaker. My phrase goes something like:
I then realized program X doesn't provide classes for Y (albeit its excellent support for Z).
Is the word albeit used properly? I tried a dictionary, and one definition says it's similar to although, although I'm pretty sure that word doesn't fit in that particular sentence (see what I did there? I do know how to use that word, at least).
Best Answer
Yes, albeit does just mean although.
There, you seem to be using "albeit" to mean "despite", which that word does not mean.
Why not just use the word "despite"?
