Some critics have objected to the use of the phrasemore importantly in place of more important as a means of introducing an assertion, as inMore importantly, there is no party ready to step into the vacuum left by the Communists. But both forms are widely used by reputable writers,and there is no obvious reason for preferring one or the other.In an earlier surveythe introductory use ofmore importantly was acceptable to half of the members of the Usage Panel.
壹些批評家已經對短語more importantly 作為表述壹個斷言的方法來代替短語 more important 提出反對意見， 如在句子更重要的是，沒有政黨準備進入***產黨留下來的真空中去。 但是這兩種形式都被有聲望的作家廣泛使用，並且沒有明顯的理由說哪個比哪個更好。在早期的調查中，more importantly 的引入使用對用法專題小組的半數成員來說是可以接受的
