Sorry I didn't get to explain this properly before it was fixed upstream. :-) For the record, "nevertheless" is strictly correct, but excessively formal. In this context "anyway" means exactly the same thing, is half as long, and is much more common. (For example, "anyway" is the 814th most common word in the British National Corpus, while "nevertheless" is the 1424th most common. For a global perspective, see <http://googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=nevertheless&word2=anyway>.)
