Hi ,

Can you tell me the meaning of words ‘inspite’ and ‘despite’ with few examples ?
Do they have same meaning ?

Regards,
William

Hi,
“inspite” should be considered incorrect in as many possible ways as possible. I’d suggesting using either “in spite of” or “despite” as the beginning of a concession phrase.

How about these, William:
In spite of the fact that you have been told your questions are too general and you should use a dictionary, you continue to ask in the same form.
Despite the fact that you have been told your questions are too general and you should use a dictionary, you continue to ask in the same form.

As Saberlily points out, the single word ‘inspite’ does not exist.

Thanks Saberlily and Terry for answering my question and will follow your instructions hereafter.
