「しかも」の情報
しかも is a conjunction in Japanese which is commonly translated as either 'furthermore', or 'moreover'. This is a somewhat formal grammar pattern which indicates that both (A) and (B) exist at the same time, or are in unison. しかも itself focuses on the overall topic, so will be used for giving objective opinions, such as observable facts, rather than personal opinions.
As しかも is a conjunction, it may be used between two phrases, or sometimes at the beginning of a second sentence, when referring back to the first.

- このテレビは画質がめちゃくちゃいい。しかも、受信機がついていないから受信料を払わなくてもいい。This TV has a very good resolution, and what's more, it doesn't have a receiver, so you don't have to pay a TV reception fee.
- 彼女はとても頭がいいし性格もいい。しかも、美人だからもてないわけがない。She is very smart and has a great personality. Moreover, she is beautiful, so there is no way that she is not popular.
- あの店は古いし汚い。しかも品揃えもよくないから、そのうち潰れるだろう。That store is old and dirty. Moreover, they don't have a good selection of goods, so they will probably go out of business soon.
Fun-fact - Originally, しかも came from the combination of the archaic interjection 然 'as such', or 'like that', and the particle も 'too', or 'also'. In this way, some reflection can be seen between it and modern English phrases like 'additionally', where the (B) information is simply adding on to what is already known about (A).
Fun-fact - In modern writing, しかも may also appear as either 而も or 併も, although both are quite rare.

Bunpro says this is a formal expression but in my experience that’s not the case at all. I use it and hear it used in casual conversations very often but less often in formal writing. I think it’s almost never used in academic papers.

Hey @mitten !
In both the details section and in the hints, we explain that this is a somewhat formal grammar pattern. Because it could be used in both casual and formal situations, we have decided to change the register to say ‘Standard’ to avoid confusion.
As a fellow native speaker I agree that しかも sounds more casual than formal because of how often we use it and hear it, however this does not mean that it is never used in formal situations or academic papers.
We hope that this clears it up!

Thank you for updating the page. I agree it should be labeled standard.
But it still says its 使用域 is 硬い. Is that intentional? (I don’t know how bunpro distinguishes register and 使用域)
