Although, not albeit. You have a slave sentence there. These are incompatible with albeit.

- LorenDB 2y agoThanks, fixed! "Albeit" seemed like it would work, but "although" indeed fits much better.
- soulofmischief 2y agoTo put it another way, albeit shouldn't be used with independent clauses. 1. I leave Steam running all the time (although I never open Steam Chat). 2. I leave Steam running all the time (albeit never with Steam Chat). "I never open Steam Chat" can stand on its own as a sentence, but "never with Steam Chat" does not and thus can be appropriately modified with albeit.

- CoastalCoder 2y agoI kinda wish HN allowed a visual indicator for subthreads that focus on tangents that don't hold universal appeal: comment grammar, humor, "why did I get downvoted?", etc. There are lots of little discussions like this that I'd love to have, but which sometimes lead to a lot of downvotes.
