How it's used
Functions as a conjunction to add an extra, often positive, attribute or fact to a subject. It emphasizes that the second point is an additional benefit or feature on top of the first. It is slightly more emphatic than just using 仲有.
Examples
He is very hardworking, and also very polite.
This job pays well, plus the benefits are good.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in formal writing as it is strictly a spoken Cantonese connector. It should not be confused with 兼職 which refers to a part time job.
