🇺🇸🇨🇦 **American/Canadian English speakers, let's talk about the word *oftentimes*!** How often do you actually use it in everyday conversation? Would you naturally say: - *Oftentimes, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* - *Quite often, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* - *Generally, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* - *Frequently, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* Do these sound equally natural to you, or do some feel more formal, old-fashioned, or awkward? Which would you personally use, and in what context? I'm curious about your actual usage rather than which expressions you simply recognize!

During this period, the new barrister will gain practical experience which who can not acquire it in the lecture room.
