I appreciate your help. I really like the idea of using only nouns. The fact is that in my language, the gerund form of the word is translated often as a noun in our language and that's why I always make mistakes here. Thank you for your help!

Thank you.

1. When you have words like "except" and "including," should we always place a comma before them or is that determined by the rule similar to relative clauses?

2. Also, is it OK to say a comma before them, rather than "place commas before them"? We could interprete the phrase to mean a comma for each of them? Right?

A comma before them = A comma before each

Believer3. When you are writing in bullet form, all of the list should manifest parallel structure. Is that a general recommandation or something that should be followed unless it is very, very difficult to comply?

Is the word in bold OK, can I replace it with the word structures? - singular structure is correct.

Thank you Grammar Geek, I can not agree or disagree with a native speaker. The disagreement on parallel structures is something, which I would never have thought about. For me, this is too language specific and I will never be able to think English, unless I move in english-speaking country some day

Like I said, Kedra, it's a fine point and most native speakers don't often consider it when making their lists either. That's why companies have writers (thank goodness for the sake of my own job) who help make things read better, even if the people reading don't stop to think about why it sounds better. I always read your posts with interest because I am a technical writer and the nature of your

Thank you very much.

Why can the sentence be "all of the list should manifest parallel structures" and not "all of the list should manifest parallel structure" Are you be able to make that distinction clearly because the contexts the sentences are in show them to be different? Is the usage of those two words are different because they don't mean the same thing
