Inter alia

"Inter alia", of course is Latin. It is used in formal, learned documents and especially in legal forms and the like. Anybody using it will be immediately suspected of being absurdly pompous.

How about "What I like inter aliais popsicles"? Sounds funny?

Hey Paco,

I didn't understand you...Why popsicles? You mean like lollies?

Yes you are right, Mav.

I like pospsicles, id est, ice lollies in British English.

Hello Mav

Several Latin phrases (e.g. ad hoc, de facto, status quo, prima facie) are fairly often heard in spoken BrE, especially in business or political contexts; but 'inter alia' seems not to belong to that happy band.

You find it in written BrE, especially in more exalted contexts, as GC suggests – literary criticism, philosophy, etc.

And, of course, in any disc

American philosophers seem to like a priori, a fortiori, pace, de re, de dicto, ex hypothesi (partially Greek), tabula rasa, and qualia, (inter alia, of course!).

But if I want, for example, to explain why I am doing something. And one askes me 'what's your purpose? It seems like you are trying to earn some money'; I would reply 'I am trying to become richamong the other things\amongst the others'
How would you answer?

I'd say:
"Yes, among other things, I want to become rich"

My dictionary shows:
'Among other things','among others' and 'amongst the rest'

Which one sounds best?

"among other things" and "among others" have the same meaning.
I understand "among the rest" as "among the things we still haven't mentioned" (more or less)
