Asked on December 24, 2021 in Grammar.
Often sentences are set on that same line by commas.
After Shabbat, all participants are mailed an official letter to, or rejection from, the program.
While commas are routinely used to set off elements in series longer than two, in this case, such use helps to indicate that the first verb/prepositional phrase is not quite complete since it is separated from its object.
While your alternate construction works, the first is not incorrect, especially when helped with punctuation.

During nalply’s suggestion of disdain, I think nalply’s suggestion of a disdain (noun) – a
feeling of contempt for someone or what is considered unworthy or inferior : scorn I would say ”
I have disdain for this TV show.” ”
“Hello friends! ” ” We can’t afford to ignore every case because it is “all too obvious”.

Possibly unify
to make things work well together
or integrate
to form, coordinate, or incorporate into a functioning or unified whole
or maybe even consubstantiate
to unite or become united in one substance, nature, or essence (although
the last has certian religious overtones).

Asked on December 20, 2021 in American english.
What is the relationship between the pronoun and progression?
What was the most significant change in focus between “Second SYLLABLE” and “First”? In most in the US, the o suffix sounds faster than the real sound and many would go along with it. But if you take the long
way into the initial syllable, the longer the sound.

Asked on December 20, 2021 in Word choice.
Possibly
paid temporary shutdown
or
paid temporary closedown
For example I am a company employee who is not a manager.
I think an inclusive phrase would not seem jarring to most people. Of the definitions is (US)
a temporary laying off of employees, usually because there is too little work to occupy
them As you indicate, most furloughs involve no pay (in fact salary is the most common reason for furloughing). Because when you say paid furlough, you considered things, the meaning would probably be clear. In the current US government shutdown, workers were often described as being furloughed, and some were paid despite not working.
