 * Weak Keep then again and but then both mean on the other hand or however but you wouldn't say on the other hand again or however again. You could say but on the other hand, though but however is much rarer and unidiomatic, perhaps even grammatically unsound. The phrase could plausibly be thought of as but+then again but not really as but then + again but I'd say but then again is idiomatic rather than SOP and keep it, personally. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:55, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
