@Kris, if you think it should be migrated, you should vote to close as off-topic and indicate that you think it should be sent to ELL.

comment “Customer usage” or “customer use”?
I marked this as a duplicate, but if the answers there don't satisfy you, please edit your question to clarify your confusion (that is, to explain why you think either one might fit).

comment Use of “though” versus “however”
I hear you, and I think this would make a good and interesting Meta topic, if you care to post one.

comment Use of “though” versus “however”
We can't delete what we don't see. If it's not flagged, it's invisible to us. If enough users flag something as rude or offensive, it will be deleted automatically (without mod intervention), so the community also has the power to erase.

Hi Tim. This kind of question is off-topic here, but you might look around on English Language Learners and see if they have some recommendations. You might also ask in their chat room.
