9. Unless except.
Without, when it precedes a sentence or member of a sentence, has been called a conjunction. This is a mistake. You will not enjoy health, without you use much exercise. In this sentence, without is a preposition still, but followed by a member of a sentence, instead of a single noun. It has no property of a connective or conjunction, and does not fall within the definition. You will not enjoy health, this fact following being removed, or not taking place you use exercise. This use of without, is nearly superseded by unless and except, among good writers and speakers but is common in popular discourse or parlance.

1. Not on the inside not within.
