Question to American people
Hello !
A teacher of mine told me that American people don't say "moreover" like Britons but "in addition". It is kind of surprising. Is it true?
Thank you

Americans use "moreover" in academic, business, and legal writing regularly, but I rarely hear anybody actually say it out loud. It is true, however, that "in addition" is far more common in both writing and speaking. In speaking, you will more often hear "another thing" or "one more thing" or something like that than "in addition" which is fairly formal.

Hi,
(I live in New Zealand but native American) You are correct, Americans usually say 'in addition'.

Ah ah alright, so nobody never uses that and in foreign countries -at least in France- they always tell us that we have to use it because it is a wonderful word xD

It is the same situation in the UK. 'Moreover' is not a commonly used word, apart from in formal writing. It is not at all common in speech. 'Also' is a much more common all-purpose word.
