1d	comment	Try something by video? You may find English Language Learners useful.
1d	comment	Would it be correct to say that negative five is less than positive two? That's an amusing comparison, like saying “B is more pregnant than A” when A and B have been pregnant 5 weeks and 5 months respectively.
1d	comment	Does “an accordingly big army” sound awkward? @Kris, see edit
May 19	comment	“James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher” Correct Sentence? General reference: see James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher wikipedia article
May 18	comment	“in” or “on” operating system? You may find English Language Learners useful.
May 18	comment	Counting stops without ambiguity Also see What highway exit does “Next Exit” refer to? and the questions linked to Which day does “next Tuesday” refer to?
May 17	comment	How to reply to a status update for a job application? Instead of “I will be looking forward to” write “I look forward to”
May 16	comment	I can't make heads or tails of this paragraph. It's a complex pun. (Warning: mildly “bad language” and urban lingo.) This is a duplicate of an ELL question: I can't understand the paragraph given below. It's a complex pun [closed]
May 16	comment	from and by differences You may find English Language Learners useful.
May 15	comment	Short exclamation to mean: “This is driving me crazy.” Can you provide a cite for that number, 3,827?
May 13	comment	Use of commas before a quote Jeremy, please edit the ref into the answer instead of just in a comment
May 13	comment	What is the name of a repair shop specialized in fixing flat tires? Bill, in the US, none of those four types of shops actually specialize in fixing flat tires. In every one of them, the main line of work is something else – eg selling tires, selling gasoline, doing engine repairs. In all of them, repairing flats is a tiny fraction of their work, and not at all something they specialize in
May 8	comment	How much mmmm should be in hmmmmmmm @Kristina, and it's a reader's prerogative to regard untoward expressions as silly. :)
May 8	comment	How much mmmm should be in hmmmmmmm I think mm is enough to get the idea across; mmm is ok too; more than that is silly.
May 5	comment	How to describe an event happend in the same time? I don't understand your question. Please rewrite it using simple and short sentences. Put a period after each sentence. Please spell-check the text as well (right-click and select spell-check). If you do not know how commas, parentheses, and brackets work, then don't use them.
May 4	comment	What are metal pans and covers of a staircase? By “walking on a 3/4" surface” the writer might mean that stepping on the raised front lip could not be avoided. On typical residential stairs, if the toe of my boot is against the riser, the heel is out over the edge of the tread.
May 4	comment	'Statistically significant associated to' — [Adv + Adj] as Adv? “Statistically significant with respect to” appears to be an incorrect rephrasing. The intended meaning is that there is a statistically significant association between DT and DD, not that “DT is statistically significant with respect to DD”, a meaningless statement.
May 3	comment	Correct usage of lbs. as in “pounds” of weight @BraddSzonye, fixed kg
May 3	comment	Conjunction vs comma for creative writing For stage directions in a screenplay, write “Mark sits in the middle of the hall and cries” with simple present tense verbs instead of roundabout present progressive “is sitting” and “is crying”. Or write “Mark sits in the hall and cries” rather than micromanaging whether he sits in the middle of the hall.
May 2	comment	They give very less attention to the him You may find English Language Learners useful. Note, both of “give attention” and “very less” are used incorrectly in your examples.
