About this document
In Spite Of vs. Despite Explained by Juan Cojones is a document available to read on EtoBox.
In spite of and despite are prepositional expressions that have a similar meaning to although or even though, expressing a contrast between two things. They are more common in writing than speaking, and despite is slightly more formal than in spite of. These expressions are commonly used with the phrase "the fact that" followed by a subject and verb, rather than a that-clause. Some examples of their correct usage are provided.
