Häufige Fragen (6)

Generally no. It usually follows the verb. In very informal speech, you might hear 'Ju mer, desto bättre', but that's a different grammatical construction.
'Kanske' means 'maybe' (50/50), while 'nog' implies a stronger belief that something is likely (70/30).
Generally, avoid it in very formal academic papers unless you are referring to a widely accepted fact. In professional emails, it's fine and helps build rapport.
You will be understood, but you will sound very 'foreign'. It is the most distinctive feature of Swedish syntax.
Generally, no. 'Ju' is very conversational. In formal academic writing, use words like uppenbarligen (obviously) or som bekant (as is known).
