Correct use of certain expressions?
Hi. Please help me with these.
1. Do you think we can use the expression "Nice to see/meet you" both when meeting someone and as we say goodbye?
2. What does the expression/question "Do you more like John Doe or Jane Doe?" asking? Is it asking who I prefer (like more) or asking about whether I am more like John Doe or Jane Doe, more or less, in terms of personality? I think the expression/question "Are you more like John Doe or Jane Doe" ask for whether I am more like either of them, more or less, in terms of personality. (I am not sure, though.)
I am sorry, but can you help me with this one, that is not related to the topic, too? Would you place commas around the quote like this for the question I wrote above?
