  • “except” because the exception is not to something in the quoted sentence but rather to something in the linked explanation of closing. It seems to be there. The situation is, as far as I can tell, as follows! Where can I ask questions in a different language for different reasons? Please reply to all questions you type using the URL: https://www.com/help/closed-questions. That link says that closed questions ultimately get “” appended to their title. I can’t get a complete answer yet… The sentence you quoted expresses this by saying that titles are appended with “” which I think is a misuse of “append”. The sentence you quoted began by trying to say that marking as a duplicate is one of the options for closing a question. (It says this by saying marking as a duplicate is a part of the question closing procedure, which I think is a misuse of the word “part” to try and avoid mistakes). Then it adds that, unlike other options, this one results in appending “” instead of “.” So the exception is to the statement, in the linked explanation, that closing a question results in appending “” to its title.

    What are some examples?

  • Asked on December 24, 2021 in Grammar.

    Why “while” is a noun, but I think something should also be said about your reason for thinking it’s adverb, namely, that it answers the question “for how much time”. What is the problem of the answer in “while” for a while? And indeed “for a while” is a prepositional phrase functioning as an adverb i.e. modifying the verb “rest”. What is the idea behind an adverb in the dictionary?

    If this sentence occurred by itself, I’d be inclined to hyphenate “minimal-cut-sets”, as in your second suggested revision, to avoid a misreading where my translation as “minimal” modifies “approach” rather than “sets”. If the sentence occurred in a context that would (or should) prevent that misreading, then the original, unhyphenated version would appear OK. As I

    know, my sentence was written with a straight line and no rhyme or reason.
