Grammar
ESPECIALLY WHEN and ESPECIALLY SINCE
Could you help me with these 3 sentences?
I read a lot especially when I don't have my CD player with me.
She hasn't spoken to anyone, especially since her fathers death.
I'm not going to go on vacation with her, especially since I hate her.
Can you give me and example with each?
Can you tell me what you think of this sentence and which you would say?
- I don't understand the thought/rationale behind the pricing of the different dishes. Is it "why sell a hamburger for less when you can sell it for the same price as a bacon burger. People who don't eat bacon will have to buy the hamburger. They'll have no choice but to pay the same price"
- Can you take us through your thought process?
Thank you

I read a lot , especially when I don't have my CD player with me. -- I prefer a comma. * I'm not going to go on vacation with her, especially since I hate her.
- I read a lot , especially when I don't have my CD player with me.
- -- I prefer a comma.
- * I'm not going to go on vacation with her, especially since I hate her.
- -- Correct English, but seems a bit strange.
- After "especially" one expects a moderately strong reinforcing reason; this seems too overwhelmingly strong.
