This page is a tool for finding such phrases within Wikipedia articles so readers and editors can replace them with suggested and nearly universally applicable alternatives. Use good judgement, however – it is unwise to do a blind, automatic substitution using
AutoWikiBrowser or other tools, and it is best to read the sentence in context to ensure that the replacement fits. Other changes may be needed.
(Please note: unlike any of the rest of the suggestions currently (28 October 2005) on this page, changing "in spite of the fact that" to "in spite of" or "despite" requires a *further* change in the construction sentence to be correct. The change takes the following pattern: "In spite of the fact that he needed the money..." becomes "Despite his needing the money..." or "Despite his having needed the money..."; the subject pronoun becomes a possessive and the verb changes to a gerund (or to the compound 'having' followed by the past participle.) Changing it to "although" or "though" works without further changes, however.)
"There is no doubt that" --> remove or replace with "no doubt" or "doubtless"
