The Word "Although"

The word although is like since and if, not like therefore and however. The word although is a subordinate conjunction, not a conjunctive adverb. The word although does not take a semicolon before it and a comma after it. ...saw them; although, they were... :-( ...win it; although, the team did not... :-( ...We still saw them although they were fairly well hidden. :-) ...They did win it although the team did not play well. :-) Happy punctuating!
