Except otherwiseExcept otherwise is a term that completely changes the content of the sentence that comes before it. For example, you may say “are you sure you will come to work tomorrow?” or “do we have enough fuel to get to Freetown” and the answer might be “yes, except otherwise.” This can be problematic on occasion. |
