Could you please help me with these by telling me what you think of them grammatically?

- You can't care about money if you want to win.
- They said he could come but at what cost/price. Losing so much isn't worth it.
- The IP adress shows that they were close/in close vacinity/in close proximity to each other when they connect to both computers.
- There is no knowing who's going to win until the last minute.
- The benches on the side of the road delineate the road which is otherwise invisible.
- Look at the in the window I though she was pretty. I soon realized I was mistaken when I turned around.
- The bigger the tournement you play is and the more expensive it is, the more money there is up for grabs.
- Theses are 2 branches. THe prices here are like the little gap in relation to the big gap. Its just a tad more expensive here than it's branch.
- She has her legs crossed in a wierd way/wierdly
- What's the look in your eyes. Is that mischief I can see in those eyes. (can you say these?)

Thank you

- You can't care about money if you want to win. Borderline OK, but I'd say You can't be concerned about money if you want to win . or You can't win if money is important to you.

Thank you CJ

for - Theses are 2 branches. THe prices here are like the little gap in relation to the big gap. Its just a tad more expensive here than it's branch. I don't understand this one at all. Are you talking about The Gap -- the store where you can buy clothes?

Lets say Store A is the branch of store B but store A is still a little more expensive then store B.

Hello CJ
Could you tell me what you think about the sentence now that I've given you more to work with. Is it clear now?
Thank you

You still haven't answered the question directly. Are you talking about the shop where you can buy clothes? The shop with the name "The Gap"? I assume you know that you have to capitalize it to avoid confusion with the ordinary word gap, defined below.

Or is this "gap" (below) what you mean? (The gap between two prices?) The sentence is still basically incomprehensible.

alc24The prices here ((store D) (in relation to store C)) are like the little gap (store A) in relation/compared to the big gap (store B). Store C is just a tad more expensive here than it's its branch (store D).

Hello CJ,

I came across this thread and I had a question regarding PROXIMITY?

Can you say?

- The 2 monuments are in close proximity/range/distance to each other. (which word would you use?)

thank you

alc24- The 2 monuments are in close proximity/range/distance to each other. (which word would you use?)
You can certainly use "proximity" there, but not the other two choices. "proximity" is a very high-class word for just "close". I would say ... are close to each other. It's much simpler!
