02br 02br 00Both are corrrect grammatically, however the meaning in your sentences don't match. 02br 02br 00"on the other hand" should be used to give a balance to the first part of the sentence. 02br 02br 00It is very cheap, but on the other hand, I'm just going to use it one time.

  • 02br 02br 00Both are corrrect grammatically, however the meaning in your sentences don't match.
  • 02br 02br 00"on the other hand" should be used to give a balance to the first part of the sentence.
  • 02br 02br 00It is very cheap, but on the other hand, I'm just going to use it one time.
  • So I will buy it and throw it away.
  • 02br 02br 00It's very expensive; on the other hand, I will use it for many years to come.

0 I think I agree with Susan. Those sentences don't make much sense to me. Anyway, 01i01b00but + on the other hand 02b02i00is not a problem, even though you could certainly say one of them is redundant. It's only a problem for those who don't like redundancy 05002br
00Actually, I have to admit I like the version with "but" more. 010id5

00I think it's not only non-standard English, but it is also ackward sounding.02br
00It's almost like using "00alth00ough...but00 00together in the same sentence. 0-
