Do you (native speakers) say "Upon first apperance" and "At first blush" often?
At first glance, these two triangles may not be congruent.
I've used the phrase "At first glance" countless times so I think it's a good idea to try other phrases that carry the same meaning. Now I say "Upon first apperance" and "At first blush" to substitute for "At first glance".
