文化背景
In France, using 'qui plus est' in a job interview or a formal letter is seen as a sign of high education and 'maîtrise de la langue'. It is part of the 'code' of the French elite. While understood, 'qui plus est' is less frequent in daily Quebecois French, where 'en plus' or 'de plus' are preferred. It remains a marker of high-level journalism in Radio-Canada. In formal West African French (Senegal, Ivory Coast), the use of high-register connectors is very common in administrative and political discourse, reflecting a heritage of classical French education. In the world of French 'Grandes Écoles', the 'dissertation' is a sacred exercise. 'Qui plus est' is one of the 'mots de liaison' that students are encouraged to use to show logical progression.
