Have you noticed that in college textbooks and other books written by academics, the word "moreover" is found on every other page? Yet in books written by ordinary Joes, the word is never used. Why do academics love this word so much?

I think it is a necessary word for reading text, since text is interpreted differently than speech due to the lack of personal expression. Moreover, it's a method of connecting two separate sentences on the same subject. How's that?

Because they use transitions, unlike "ordinary Joes."

It breaks the monotony of always using "also" and "furthermore."
