Devious means underhanded.
Distinctive words are “how’s we use underhanded tactics to achieve goal” or “on a route(s) longer and less direct than the most straightforward way”. What are these words? I guess it makes sense that a person’s actions would be devious, but you can’t say a person self is devious. Though I would interpret He is devious to mean He has a tendency to use devious methods to accomplish something.
Devilish means mischievous. Also use it light-heartedly, i.e. your name is on the phone. To describe someone playing a practical joke.
-ish is a suffix that means “of.” I see no reason why this can’t apply for actions as well as people, places, or things.
I bet you I know my cat was hungry, but when I saw the pictures of her belly full on in a photo she told me it was actually her food. I believe her hunger causes her to forget she doesn’t have a food supply.
Satanic means or worshipping or preparing for The Devil by Satan. Without significant context establishing otherwise it’s a Serious word that isn’t equivalent to the above two at all.
Bobby Patton – Vanity Fair and Devious.
I take this to mean I should be on my guard when dealing with Bobby just in case I’m a means to one of his underhanded schemes.
Bobby is devilish. Everybody knows this. She is the devil. She is devilish.
Why is Bobby Young extremely happy and sociable? Will we hang out at a bar from time to time?
Is Bobby Smyth a demon?
How do you tell Bobby is secretly doing some bad things in his basement?

Other recommendations relate to the details
This implies the recommendations were created with the details in mind.
Other recommendations are related/relevant to the details
This implies we found the recommendations and learned they were related to the details. You might have taken a survey to do this?

The “family relation” meaning of relate is always used in passive voice, and is typically used to talk about someone more than “1 step” away like cousins, aunts, uncles, e.g. “I am related to her, she is not my aunt. There is no real connection with me.” Because “x and y share something” (even if not talking about family) historically identifies a transitive relationship (A shares characteristics with B = B shares those same characteristics
-
with A). Relate doesn’t really have strong “hierarchical” meaning outside of this “family relationship” case (it’s more of an X and Y share something). As per the passive voice use example of the “direction” of relate from X to Y, the immaterial “direction” is often immaterial. (Path use) the implication alters more than the actual meaning.
-
Alternate meaning that aren’t related: “X related to Y” can be synonymous with “X disclosed information to Y” or “X understands Y well”e.g., “X’s vision was clear, or “X understands Y” is a form of expression which is about or represents a set of ideas or concepts. “I relate to my mom” means “My mom understands me well”, and “I related to my wife that she was not to come to the house” means “I told her that she was not to come to the house”, etc (again a verb)?

By accident while getting taken to the hospital he died.
While he was in the hospital you’re explicit saying that while he was injured, he died.
He shot himself in the chest although he wasn’t hurt. He later died.
Was this ambiguous? I can’t tell if he ever died, and what happened afterwards or if he didn’t, why? His body was found but his body didn’t. It opined that he had died simply because he wasn’t being taken to the hospital, which is totally untrue and will cause your listener or reader to have questions.
If the context of the sentence is recounting an event in stale English, then the exception makes sense. If not and in some cases, the while
should be visible.

You don’t use adjectives before nouns if they describe a type and not an example. I have seen a class before nouns recently.
If a stack is empty, then it goes into an
underflow state The writer here is saying that underflow is a type of state that the stack can be in. In a programming context, this has the implication that the stack can be in one of several well defined states, such as “underflow”, “normal”, “overflow”, “disabled”, for example.
Saying a state is not an application, and is that underflow is not an application.

Which phrase changes the meaning of both phrases more so the first then the second:
-
picking up investments – This is equivalent to acquiring more investments
-
investments picking up – This is equivalent to (existing) investments that are increasing in value
-
showing definite signs of recovery in current economy (RBA) – This don’t sound quite right. What should I say, first, to say that the sentences are caused by the Union Government’s policies but the meaning would change if the original sentence is simply “the economy has been stimulated and the people’s economy has been made stronger as a result of the Union government’s policy.” Where and how is the repetition of the verb’show’ with two different subjects in this sentence made this sound awkward.
-
Is the economy showing signs of recovery?

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.
My friend asked that we go for a picnic the next morning, and I requested that she come. He made a good morning. I wished her well and suggested that I stay at home that day. I am thinking a nice picnic too.
Did you intend to go for a picnic? I = everyone else = we.
In this sentence, you are considered yourself (I) and your friend to be in same group, and then you are speaking for that group.
We are first person plural people. We are not on your website. Would you miss them if you are not a part of the ASD of an ASD group or a group?
Is it the same with second sentence?
When I read a rule saying when we change speech “let us” changes into they?
Where did you go after others have left you?
Is it possible for a “let us” to be used as a polite or gentle way of expressing an imperative to a group of people, and not be including yourself in that group? (A teacher talking to children: “Let’s go inside.”) “” However, in both your examples, you are included in the group.
If the subject of the first part of the sentence is no longer “I”, but a third-person pronoun such as “he”, in that case you use “they” for the second part of the sentence.
He wished the friend good morning and proposed that they go out for a picnic that day. This is what happened?

Can we copy data updates from database to database? If not, you need to reword it.
If you prefer a verbal rhythm and cues to speech, a sentence is technically OK but awkward and difficult to read.

If a sentence is composed by four things, what does it mean? Three arrive at a the same meaning.
-
Is proposing an expression of one continuous aspect.
- What is paper doing right now, and how is it doing so? A speaker/writer might intend this if communicating what he/she believes the contribution is while he/she is reading paragraphs from it.
-
Possibility 2: Proposing is a gerund
- This means we’re talking about an activity abstractly – meaning who/what does it isn’t known or important, and we don’t mean the effect or result, but the actual process/activity. An abstract of the paper itself talks about proposing, but isn’t doing the proposing itself, nor is telling anyone specific to do it, so this is a good use case of gerund.
-
Possibility 3: To propose, the infinitive Infinitives
- are verbs whose object does not. Infinitive are verbs whose object does not. Is it real like a gerund and does it work here?
And:
-
Possibility 4: Phrasal variation of to be – to be to X.
- To be to x is a variation of being that is a stronger version of supposed to be X with an implication of obligation. What is the meaning of he is supposed to be at the park at 6pm and has been told or obligated to be there which means he wants to be there until 7 pm. If you’re writing a paper and want to make clear, what does your contribution’s purpose/residency be?
(Or if you want to avoid this entirely, use a noun there.)
The main contribution of this paper is the proposal of a new method.
In short this is a huge thing.
