Question? Moreover verses for the more

I stated this previously, pressed next but do not see it on the board?

I have found myself using the word more over quite often and am unsure if there should be a period or comma before using it or after for that matter?
I am attempting to broaden my vocabulary furthermore seems very similar but I'm a bit confused?
Will you please take time to assist me in my attempt to broaden my knowledge? Much as an instructor or professor to a student of literary comprehension with emphasis on artistic oral application... "Please, feel free to constructively criticize what I just stated relating too much choice of wording)
--- I have a feeling or feel like I am trying to hard or "overdoing it", in lieu of my disgust of the Ebonics plague and how most seemingly are not only lack any motivation or desire to, at the very least "sound" educated but prefer ebonic like or "dumbed down grammar ". It's sad that it has come to this but it is "such a breath of fresh air" speak with people whom utilize basic principles of grammar... I.E.- offered in grammar school ( no pun intended )
( The rent is unintentional )
( let the constructive criticism and flow ...)
