Asked on February 28, 2021 in Word choice.
Try pa expatriate (or,, in UK English, just expat):
: a person who lives in a foreign country
// Hemingway himself in The Sun Also Rises, 1926, had given the picture of the dislocated life of young English and American expatriates in the bars of Paris, the “lost generation,” as Gertrude Stein defined them.
Do you are anexpat of your native country?
In the example sentence:
Seeing Jacob struggling because this is the first time he need to live by his own, Sasha as a fellow expatriate is sympathetic to him and often gives him advice.
Although the definition of the word refers to a foreign country, it could still be used and understood if applied to a province, state, or even city instead. What does this mean is that all the immigrants come from different backgrounds some of the time?
I grew up in Toronto, but I now live there. I plan to stay in Ontario for another 4 years. This would be understood if I referred to myself as a Toronto expat. ; if I moved to another province, but stayed in Canada, I would be an Ontario expatriate.

Both versions are fine. Is there no reason for them either.
The article is used when there is a specific instance of something that you are talking about; without the article, you are generally talking about the idea of something (without instantiation).
In your example sentence, you might use an article if you were at a virtual reality exposition and comparing VR gear from different specific vendors—or different VR worlds provided by the same vendor.
Similarly, in fiction it is possible to talk about different specific realities with the use of an article. Even in real world people will often rhetorically refer to your reality or my reality: even if the subject is
of actuality.)

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.
Richard Blake was born in January 1885.
His father was an Indian. His parents were both local residents.
If we don’t know Richard’s last name, will we be so hard to ignore him?
Which is just the reason that Mr. Blake and his wife Edith is significant is because the mother’s first name is given while the father’s is not. What can be the reason for this inconsistency?
As a point of style, a comment could be made about this sentence that differs from the other answers.
The absence of a comma before Edith (making it restrictive) suggests that Mr. Blake has more than one wife—and that the sentence is making reference to the specific wife whom is named Edith. If this comma was the order of things, so which will suffice for Edith (who happens to be called Edith?)?
If Richard Blake was born in her mother’s 1885 name, the usage of his first name is also critical for understanding her.
A year later, Mr. Blake married his wife.
Whether the story is about a man who (as is far more normal) has only a single wife or about a child, the fact is of a certain significance for drawing text
out, and not restricting it to just the facts, for example. Richard Blake was born in 1885, the husband of Edith (a friend) Blake. Her parents eventually married and went to live in Boston. Richard did not marry.
Could Mr. Blake have was wife and mistress? How would a nonrestrictive comma for Richard Blake be distinguished if he had only a first name?
His mistress, Nancy, wasn’t too happy about it.
If we discount so that there are plural of wives, then we return to the other answers to explain the inconsistencies.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Grammar.
The Chicago Manual of Style. (Honors, 18th Ed), 9. The adverbs too and either used in the sense of “also” generally need not be preceded
by a comma.
I had my cake and ate it too. What was it like?
He likes Beethoven, and his sister gives him the opportunity. Anders loves Beethoven.
A high tech airport with an airport parking is not accessible, charging stations are not there, and people in the terminals sit back and look at the chargers.If too comes in the middle of the sentence or clause, however, a comma aids comprehension.
By contrast, she decides against showing during a show.
If too at the end of a sentence, as in your question, then Chicago would likely not use a comma if it’s in the middle of a sentence, than its likely to do so.
This is more direct than what is relayed by the FAQ entry provided in the other answer. I’ve read two quotes and I’m with someone who likes apples and bananas, and I’m with him before I use a comma. What
would the sentence mean? Out of context, neither of the versions does anything very clear. With a more explicit twist, if I like apples, I too like bananas.
I love bananas and apples. I prefer them equally.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.
All real family in life and your real family in virtual reality are the same.
In general, real families is more natural and idiomatic.
If having a conversation in the specific context of social media, then in real life could be more appropriate. The official third lives games often use the acronym IRL while online communities like those in Second Life will often use the
acronym JRL to talk about the world outside the game.) Two alternatives to both phrases are real-life families and actual families.
As a reply to my question, I would not say that fake families would be the opposite of real families in this context.
Instead of a real family, virtual families would actually be something like virtual families, and that’s something that doesn’t sound strange.

As you type and, it
just means they won’t both be done.
I am not doing A or B. If you use it so strongly, we’re not both being done. (if there are two thing of the same). If both are being done only one way, it could be that neither is being done.
In symbolic logic, the negation of a conjunction is represented by something called De Morgan’s Laws. What would happen if not A
and B
be the same as Not A and B. Not A and B was
the same as Not B. In words and sentences:- 1263361 views

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Grammar.
What is the final point of the sentence in the question: The state of war? I think next week’s war will be over. But if I can’t, then I am not sure what will happen. Are we kidding?
Would you hear about a conflict the country is suffering in now?
I’ve heard numerous news reports about ongoing wars where has been ravaged is used. Does not mean that the country has been ravaged. If I’m reading this and the news they
are aware of the war, then there’s no reason to be so enlightening.
What is the second sentence of the same sentence?
What is more clearly, the cholera outbreak and why is there such an epidemic? Why could war have stopped now?
Why is the same sentence taken in a second sentence?
What is the difference between have been ravaged in the two sentences? Is it an opinion?
