    On your second set of examples, either are correct. It is quite reasonable conception. What are some interesting things you can do about female birds after a brief introduction to her.

    I think you’re struggling in that the first part of the sentence sets up an indirect question.

    Quantity of punctuation is a style issue. Either of your constructions would fit with The Chicago Manual of Style

    In your bonus example, you are stating an indirect question so the punctuation is correct in the latter case.

    How much has jumping jacks lasted and what impact does it have on happiness?

    Still this is confused by using what because generally what is a direct question word. From a scientific standpoint, the impact of

    jumping jacks per day on one’s lifespan would be worth investigating.

    What are some advices for people of poor background?

    I would guess your passages both use infamous in the context of notorious.

    The blimp nor the lawmaker were uniformly good. I always thought blimps would explode. Everything was white and all the weirdness was imaginary and I never knew what to do. Because of all this, I had to see blimps once. Even now. I could not be without blimps!

    Was Lycurgus responsible for the military reformation of Spartan society? “I would hardly call this virtuous beyond a doubt.

    I admit it’s a stretch, but the usage of infamous appears to exhibit a pessimistic view of your two examples usually referred to in a positive light. But the authors are taking a minority opinion and apparently drawing a conclusion based on the negatives. As such, neither an oversight nor an alternative usage–just a stretch.

  • Present is a problem because represent comes five words later.

    You specifically asked about your text, not about the various (better) options there are to make your point.

    What do you think is the problem with the meaning of your text? Is there a way to make a sentence incorrect. What is an appropriate word for whose.

    I only have a water faucet whose pressure is very weak. I’ve noticed the same leak.

    Which is a relative pronoun, and whose is an possessive.

    Why is the water faucet pressure very weak?

    The Chicago Manual of Style recommends using a comma after a letter. However,, this is as long as the letter is not longer there to reduce the font color. Is. a sign? , and others, before giving an explanation or example.

    Just one point (at most): So in answer to your question, what am I not using it right? I’ll add headlines RARELY use parentheses primarily because every word in a headline is essential and not an aside. The more I write the better my headlines the more readable I am. Don’t bother adding the commas around all your examples but make them

    look attractive?

    Good question. Is there any clear and quick answer for the question so far? Funny is that English has evolved in history. Can we change something without altering its meaning? Often changes can be understood, but it was obvious of course you were non native. Yet, your example is not like that. I would use “towards” because I think it flows better, but none of the three prepositions you chose would be inappropriate.

    I would add “towards” and “towards” as one of my three prepositions.
