comment “How does two friends” vs. “how do two friends”
Does is singular, do is plural. Two friends is plural. The second one is correct.

comment Tense agreement after “if it means that”
I think "I won't write you if it means that I won't need to miss you" sounds best

comment When to use “this" and when to use “that”?
This refers to a primary matter. That refers to something secondary or external. For a tertiary aspect, you may use "the other." For example, say you were visiting colleges and you were currently at "this" school (as in the one that you're in). You're also currently talking about another school ("that" school). But there's another school not part of the conversation. You may say: this school, that school, and the other school are all really great options.

Double standard?

comment Meaning and sentence structure of “Why would we have thought otherwise?”
"Why did we thought otherwise" is grammatically incorrect. Another way to say "Why would we have thought otherwise" is "Why would we think otherwise."

comment Can “in” be replaced by “with”?
Well, to be honest, nobody says "I'm covered with mud!" But you can say "He's all covered with mud" and that seems pretty synonymous to using in

comment “Does he go bowling?” or “Doesn't he go bowling?”
I think the OP isn't as interested in the usage as much as why the response to both is yes when one is negated.

comment Is “an archives” a grammatically correct phrase? If so, is it an exception or are there others like it?
Yes, they're correct. The word chamber apparently works the same way.

comment “Favored” vs. “favorited”
Maybe "Jack added Jill's video to his favorites," is better.
