It might be some Bristolian thing. When lived there there was this fellow who used to say "Insofar as notwithstanding" whenever we were faced with a difficult question. He would then just stop, smile, and walk away.

8thO lived in Bristol for a while, didn't he?

[oddoneout]

"heretofore". Reminds me, misleadingly, of the phrase "meet yourself coming back".
This incomplete title was also a bit misleading... "Structure and postnatal organization of heretofore"
More to chew over here, including, for 8thO's benefit/annoyance? some more of the technical stuff

I like "insofar" and "inasmuch" and use them far too often, also "bethatasitmay".

[Pulcinella]

Nick must have come across many such terms in the legalese he will have been confronted with on a daily basis.

I rather like aforementioned, though I'd probably use previously mentioned in my own writing.

Nice girl, Beth - unusual surname.
Do you run it all together like that though? I separate them.

Only this once, to see what it looks like!

May? Middle name's a bit strange though.

Looks like those website names where it takes a while to work out what the correct version is - especially if one's eye/brain link has already made a(completely erroneous) pattern out of the letters, which is what happened in this case! I suppose it's because interpretation will look for known patterns first, so "Beth" came before "be that".

Perhaps she compliments how people sit?
