    Since plus as a preposition has long had the meanings "more by the addition of '' and "with the addition of,'' it was but a short step to a newer use, mainly in informal writing and speech, as a conjunction meaning "also, and, furthermore.'' Although this use is increasing, many object to it, and it is rare in more formal writing. And plus is likewise objected to, especially for being redundant:The paper was delivered two hours late, and plus it was soaking wet.
