Grammar
Could you help me properly express these 2 thoughts ?
Could you help me make these grammatical please?
1 The old hotel has nothing to do with the new renovated one. its no much nicer now. It's incomparable. Now that the building has been renovated it no longer stands out as the piece of garbage one referred to it as, it blends in with the rest of the beautiful architecture in the neighborhood.
Can you say "has nothing to do with" or is it "is nothing like" ok?
2 She knows where to fold the letter in 3 so the name is seen in the envelope's window.
(letters are fold in 3 and the name is seen in window usually??)
THank you

1. "is nothing like" is better because the old hotel does have something to do with the new one: it was in the same location and most of it's pieces are remaining after the renovation. "nothing to do with" is used when different things have no contact or dealings with each other.

- Folding a letter in 3 (aka folding in thirds) is done so a letter can fit in an envelope, which are a little larger than 1/3 the size of an unfolded letter.
