That seems to have a different application.

Obama is a muslim, however he will never claim to be a muslim.

Obama is a muslim on the other hand.....

It doesn't seem to work.

My pet peeves:

Imply versus infer. Some people use the word infer when they mean imply. I guess they think it sounds fancier.

Less versus fewer. Fewer is used when you have countable objects, e.g., fewer people, fewer commas.

“With all due respect...” That phrase shows zero respect.

Heh.

I prove, on a nearly daily basis, that it’s possible to be a complete jerk and not mention grammar at all, ever.
