Grammar
Should a comma be used before "but nonetheless" to add emphasis?
"The injury may lead to effects that are subtle but nonetheless life-changing."
"The injury may lead to effects that are subtle, but nonetheless life-changing."
Which of these two do you think is most effective? Is there a difference to how you read them in you head? Or is this just a very pedantic question?
Thank you.
