trust me, i tried google...
1. Neither: what-not is most proper.
2. After all.
I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.

He has risen!
honestly, how could you think that after all was one word? It shouldn't be used at the end of a sentence. "well this is what happend after all"... If anything is should be "After all that occured this is what happened"...that's why this isn't one word, you can't just squish a hold bunch of stuff in by thinking that after all should belong in the place where most people use it in vocalizing sentences.
And "WHATNOT"...WTF? I've always hated that word, it's just another form of "um" or "whatever" in slang. ...."I went to the store and whatnot, then i went to your momma's house and whatnot"....I've pissed a few people off in college by calling them out on it and that they sound like ignorant asses when they use it. Why the F do you use Whatnot? It's a bullS&@% word and only screws up the real english language that our youth should be speaking (aside from the brits old english)

ermm i thought those two after all's that you mentioned are purposely have different meanings?
and i thought whatnot means different thing rather than the one you mentioned? i thought whatnot is etc...

and how about 'methinks'? is that a valid word too? cause dictionary.com say so.
and you guys hate it too?

you'll rarely find a yank saying methinks. not unless I've had a bit too much rum and start thinking I'm a pirate.
again.

another one.
moreso! though after some search it should be spelled more so. but dictionary.com denied both!
so is that english or what?
-

even though I use it a lot, moreso... it's incorrect English. I've never used it in an important paper, document, or letter.
online, IM... you'll get moreso from me in a second.
