[PW] What type of word is "inasmuch"?

[S M Colowick]

> Albeit Mr. Fowler disapproves of these composite adverbs and
> prepositions

He objects mainly to their frequent misuse.

> Western European languages have
> agglutinated prepositions, adjectives and nouns with additional
> prepositions to great expressive advantage over the years.

His book is called The King's English, so I don't think he was
considering any other languages. Nonetheless your point is well taken.

> > May we suppose that Mr. Fowler never rode the underground under ground?

I believe he rode the Tube.
