Asked on May 20, 2021 in Grammar.
What are the grammatically correct parts of the essay? The meaning is ambiguous. Does every man have one head? Why are half human heads so quickly referred to as “half head each”, unless this sentence is in a science fiction novel? I mean a sentence can be ambiguous, but it’s easy enough to imagine it. How do union members get to work for only one company? Is that true? Does that mean that no one is admitted to have two jobs, or the job is equal to the jobs they are given?
“Grammatically correct” and “clear and unambiguous” are not a thing. In this case, I’d avoid a construction like that and say something more like “All men in the world share a single head” if that is what you mean, or “All men have only one head each” if that’s the intent.

Asked on April 26, 2021 in American english.
Both words are synonyms of each other. What are they exactly?
Does a native speaker prefer the phrase “middle” when talking about things that are arranged on a line? the infinity of the dimension, and “center” when speaking of two dimensional arrangements. If I talk about the center space of a circle I think of the middle of a line. If I think about the middle space I think of the center space I see, it thinks even better. Why shouldn’t I switch the controls on a
doorway?
