Hi dear friends,first of all , i appericiate your site .It's really helpful for me .(please check my posts if they are grammatically wrong).

Taking notice of one friend's post, i encountered somewhat strange grammar structures which i can't figure them out.would you please shed light upon them?



Seen as how I'm merely a student and not a native speaker, it is fully plausible that I've

overcomplicated the matter and, if that is the case, I appologise for wasting your time.

Grammar and punctuation?

Another problem:



Whether it was when he was batting for England, or while he was stood next to him at

Essex, Graham Gooch could not help but marvel at the supreme talent of Mark Waugh as a slip catcher.

would you please elaborate whether or while structure?

Thanks for your kindness

rashin Seen as how I'm merely a student and not a native speaker, it is fully plausible that I've overcomplicated the matter and, if that is the case, I appologise for wasting your time. " "seeing as how" is an idiom that means "taking into account the fact that", "allowing for the fact that". "I've overcomplicated the matter" = I've made this subject/issue more complicated than it needs to be.
