however,
however,
(OP)
Tech pubs guy at my last place drilled into me that it is alway "however,".
I just had a discussion with several colleagues about this.
Was the tech pubs guy correct or was he, and hence I, wrong?

RE: however,
If 'however' is being used to join two independent clauses, (conjunctive adverb) then it should have a semi-color before and a comma afterwards.

RE: however,
For me "however" is employed in the end of a statement or idea that can have aside effects whatever they are

"However" doesn't have any punctuation built into it. It's just a word with a role to play in the sentence.
