HOWEVER THOUGH,

Hello,

is it wrong to say 'however though'? Do you (native speakers) ever use it?

Thanks for any information

It sounds terribly redundant to me, and I don't think I've used it, even in casual conversation. hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=however+though&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images ]GOOGLE[/url] the phrase, you'll see that the examples on the first page at least are of 2 separate structures, like this one: However, though the massacre was not a deliberate act of Tory policy, it did help to precipitate new trends in political opinion....
