alc24 1 She says right, but she might mean left as she's bad with directions. This is fine. It just needs some punctuation. "Right" is a direct quote, and should be set off as such. "Left" is too, in a certain sense. The "as" clause should be set off with a comma, since it's non-essential.

2 There must be a good person in you somewhere, I'm sure of that. Just reach out and find it. (when would you say something like that? and is it right grammaitcally?) (typo - the "i" is in the wrong place.)
Another punctuation problem with this one. You have a comma splice after "somewhere." These are two separate sentences.
This would be appropriate in a situation where you wish to reassure someone who is feeling worthless, perhaps because of something which has just happened, or because of something someone has just said.

3 I used scissors to cut off most of my beard and went back with a razor to do the finishing touches. I'd suggest a comma after "beard" for clarity.
