0 Is the 'plus' question about this specific sentence? If so, I'm having trouble imagining a context that would make the word 'plus', or its equivalent, semantically appropriate. 02br

0 Hi, 02br
00In everyday spoken English, 'plus' is often used with the simple meaning of 'and'. 02br
00'She's rich plus she's beautiful'. 02br
02br
00Even in math, 02br
00for '2 + 2', we can say either '2 plus 2' or '2 and 2'. 02br

02br
00"It's hot + humid." 02br

0 Hello JKB 02br
02br
00I don't think your sentence is so bad, if you put a period in a way like: 02br
00 I was still unsure. Plus I didn't know what else to do. 02br
00 = I was still unsure. In addition I didn't know what else to do. 02br

02br
001. What does the Japanese writing at the bottom of your post mean? 02br
02br
002. How do I get to put writing at the bottom of my posts? 02br

00It's kind of my lament. Actually it is a poem by Zhu Xi, a Chinese philosopher. 02br
02br
00This could be translated like: 02br
00 Youth easily changes for old age, though learning is hard to finish. 02br
00 You should not take one little moment as a little thing. 02br
00 You are in a d

02br
00It is an ampersand in handwriting, no? 05002br
02br
00But you are right, it is informal. 02br

0 The whole phrase just doesn't sound right to me. 02br
02br
00Obviously, it is referring to some action somebody had taken. Why would someone who'd just taken some action say, "I was still unsure, plus I didn't know what else to do", and not "I was still unsure, 01b00but02b00 I didn't know what else to do."? 02br
