Asked on April 11, 2021 in Word choice.
Judges can’t hand down punishment to those who do. You could say that they
assign a sentence
hand down a sentence
order community sentence
etc
All those words you mention are different words so yes, there are differences between them. Do you have an advantage checking
a dictionary for more details?

Asked on March 27, 2021 in Meaning.
Man I can only see one meaning as well.
Do you have to do something in order to change the sense of emphasis
in the sentences used?
*”I hope that you will prove them wrong” means “If they are proved wrong, I hope that you are the one who will do it”. ”
*”I hope that you will prove them wrong” means “When you prove they’re wrong or right, I hope they are wrong” I
don’t know if these count, as they depend where the emphasis goes, which can only really happen when the sentence is spoken (or you use bold/italics like above).

What does it mean if you say a book is “obfuscated”, which means “makes confusing, difficult to understand and get over”.
https://www.merriamwebster.com What
does it mean here, in particular because people might not have been randomly allocated these number plates – they have gone out of their way to choose hard-to-read numberplates, presumably because they take some sort of exception to the idea of being identifiable via their license plates, and therefore have chosen plates which are hard to remember, or easy to make mistakes during read.

Asked on March 24, 2021 in Other.
In Snow White, where this originates, the mirror is, and they speak in the best way. Why, because the speaker is addressing the mirror first, by name?
I think the end of the sentence really should have extra punctuation. Why?
Is saying “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” a nursery rhyme, or “Tom, Tom, my old pal, fancy a beer? ” (which isn’t)
