American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language,

Usage Note:

Being that is sometimes used as a synonym

for considering that or seeing that to introduce a clause,

as in: Being that it's a holiday, I let the kids sleep late.

While this construction has seen widespread

use in American regional English,

the Usage Panel does not much care for it in more standard contexts.

In our 2006 survey, 71 percent of the Panel

found the above example unacceptable.

Some 83 percent rejected the sentence

Being that he has never attended law school, it's strange that he's giving legal advice.
