May 21	comment	Does “an accordingly big army” sound awkward? Hm, maybe I get a bit Chinese when I'm tired? Thanks.

Jan 18	comment	Is developing an insight for someone the same as accepting them? Well, it's just that I needed a word that I can use in a sentence where I say, "Person 1's ability to develop [insight, or a similar word] (into his son) and person 2's failure to develop [same word], which is needed for person 2 to learn from his mistakes, results in..." ...If that makes any sense. Basically, something you need in order to accept someone AND to be able to learn from your mistakes. Insight was the only thing I could come up with.

Jan 18	comment	Is developing an insight for someone the same as accepting them? @cbbcbail Even if the grammar is fine, would you say the usage is incorrect (based on the context)?
Jan 18	comment	Is developing an insight for someone the same as accepting them? Is it possible to "develop (an) insight for/into a situation"? (again, using 'insight' is confusing me, and I'm not sure if it's better with the an or without...) i.e. what would be the proper or common usage of insight when it's for a "thing"? (The capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing.)

Jan 15	comment	What is the appropriate usage of “attentions”? The only reason I'm considering "attentions" is because it could also mean "affections", which is not necessarily given with attention. But thank you for confirming that this would be inappropriate usage.

Jan 14	comment	Can “conceived” be used as “assumed”? Alright, would a sentence such as this remove all doubt to my meaning?: "Jack holds himself responsible for his mother’s death and believes that his uncle does as well, which he conceives as the reason for his uncle's hatred."
Jan 14	comment	Can “conceived” be used as “assumed”? I agree; I just ended up writing up a whole new sentence because it wasn't working out for me.
Jan 14	comment	Can “conceived” be used as “assumed”? My problem with this is that it doesn't indicate that Jack's uncle's hatred is only conceived by Jack. So his uncle doesn't really hate him. I'm trying to use conceive as in "to hold as an opinion; think; believe"
Jan 14	comment	Can “conceived” be used as “assumed”? Well, the main point I'm trying to get across with this sentence is that he thinks his uncle hates him, which is obviously bad, because this misconception causes him to have an even worse misconception (that he killed his mother). The poor relationship between the two is the main focus though. I ended up just making the sentence "Jack believes he is responsible for the death of his mother and that his uncle despises him for this reason." Not satisfied with it, but better than the original sentence I struggled so much with.
Jan 14	comment	Can “conceived” be used as “assumed”? Ah, a different opinion. Well, I've literally spent the last 20 minutes trying to reword the sentence and I believe it isn't within my capability right now. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be eternally grateful, but for now, I think I'll just change it entirely.
