Doctor D · Accepted Answer

One small change:
He sees the good in everything. Even the worst situation he finds good in.

Anonymous · Answer

Would it be see not find?
Even the worst situation he finds good in.
Thanks

Doctor D · Answer

Either find or see. It depends on what you want to emphasize: action or understanding.
However, the more natural wording, in either case, would be to reverse the order:

He finds good in even the worst of situations.
He sees good in even the worst of situations.

Thank you!!

Can I please ask you for help with a 4 points? 1. Generate electricity 2.Coordinates 3. Wastage 4. prettiest or more pretty

Is 'generate' the correct word?
How do trains generate electricity? How come I can plug my phone in on the train and charge it?

Would you say that the socket isn't powerful if it doesn't supply as much electricity/ current? How would you say:
The socket on the train aren't very powerful. They don't supply as much electricity/current as my home socket. It took me 4 hours to charge my phone which usually takes 2 hours.

Would it make sense to use coordinate? Do you understand what I mean? A coordinate is a specific point on earth right?

1 Only about 10% of the coordinates [by coordinates I mean places the train goes through] on this train route has a 3G network. 90% of the time, you won't be able to get online [internet] while on the train.

2 If you so much a take a step left or right from a specific point, you will get different coordinates.

3 What are the coordinates to the spot where you buried your cash?

Is it what they say 'allow for wastage'?

The supermarkets allow for wastage, so if you break something they won't charge you for it.

The store allows for stolen items. They take into account stolen items. They know that items will be stolen so they buy more.

I'm trying to find examples but they might notPeople like that give a bad image to our nation. Not all the people of my country are such idiots.be the best or I might not be using the correct words.

These examples aren't great but I wanted to try and convey 2 different thoughts. 1 : girl with the prettiest face vs the number of pretty faces

2 The team with the longest haired girls vs the most number of girls with long hair

How would you say this? Is it natural to say 'the country with the girls with' or 'The team with the girls with'?

1
The country with the prettiest women is...
The country with the most pretty women is...
The country with the girls with the prettiest faces is...
The country with the girls with the most pretty faces is...
The country with the girls with the most number of pretty faces is...

2

The team with the girls with the longest hair wins.
The team with the girls with the most long hair wins.
The team with the girls with the most number of long hair wins. This team has 3 girls with long hair vs 2 girls with long hair on that team. This team wins.
The team with the longest haired girls wins.
The team with the most long haired girls wins.

Is this correct to you? Could you help correctly write this?
-> This belt is too small for me. Even if I buckle it at the last hole, it doesn't fit.
->How long is a one year old baby's memory? Will it remember something that happened months ago?
->How far can newborns see? They can see just far enough to know who's feeding them.
->Wedding photography is at the bottom rung of photography. Some don't even consider it photography.
->The list of beers is from least alcohol content to most alcohol content.
->I don't like to say “drink in moderation” because not everyone has the same tolerance. [Does this make sense?]
->People like that give a bad image our nation. Not all the people of my country are such idiots.

-> There are some air bubbles the wall paper I put up on the same wall as the window. You can only see it with the correct lighting though. The room has to be dark with the curtains drawn but with some light coming in from the sides of the curtain. Only then can you see the default in the wall paper on the wall that the window is on.

Thank you very much Doctor D for the amazing help

It is better (more polite) to submit this as a new question. It is an unhappy surprise to get a great big long series of questions added on to a short first question. However, I will try to answer what I can of this:

Is 'generate' the correct word?
How do trains generate electricity? How come I can plug my phone in on the train and charge it?

Generate is correct. However I would say: Why can I plug my phone in ... (How come is informal.)

Would you say that the socket isn't powerful if it doesn't supply as much electricity/ current? How would you say:
The socket on the train aren't very powerful. They don't supply as much electricity/current as my home socket. It took me 4 hours to charge my phone which usually takes 2 hours.

I would not say the socket isn't powerful. The socket only carries the power forward. What is lacking in power, apparently, is the power supply. So: The outlets (sockets) on the train don't supply as much current as is available at my home.

Would it make sense to use coordinate? Do you understand what I mean? A coordinate is a specific point on earth right?

1. Only about 10% of the coordinates [by coordinates I mean places the train goes through] on this train route has a 3G network. 90% of the time, you won't be able to get online [internet] while on the train.

Coordinates seem too technical. I would say locations. Also, avoid starting a sentence with a numeral. So: Only about 10% of the locations on this train route have a 3G network connection. You won't be able to get online 90% of the time while on board.

2. If you so much as a take a step left or right from a specific point, you will get different coordinates.

3. What are the coordinates to of the spot where you buried your cash?

Is it what they say 'allow for wastage'?
The supermarkets allow for wastage, so if you break something, they won't charge you for it.

Okay.

The store allows for stolen items. They take into account stolen items. They know that items will be stolen so they buy more.

You need to word this so it is clear that you are talking about the stealing, not the items. Stolen items could be items that the store stole! So:

The store allows for its items being stolen. They take into account that their items may be stolen. They know that items will be stolen, so they buy more than they need.

I'm trying to find examples but they might notPeople like that give a bad image to our nation. Not all the people of my country are such idiots.be the best or I might not be using the correct words.

The question is not clear.

These examples aren't great but I wanted to try and convey 2 different thoughts. 1 : girl with the prettiest face vs the number of pretty faces

2 The team with the longest haired girls vs the most number of girls with long hair

How would you say this? Is it natural to say 'the country with the girls with' or 'The team with the girls with'?

1
The country with the prettiest women is... (Okay)
The country with the most pretty women is... (Okay)
The country with the girls with the prettiest faces is...

The country with girls with the prettiest faces is.. (or girls who have the prettiest...)
The country with the girls with the most pretty faces is...

This is either the same as the sentence above or the sentence below (EITHER we are talking about girls who have the prettiest faces in the world OR we are talking about the country with the largest number of girls with extremely pretty faces.)
The country with the girls with the most number of pretty faces is...

The country with the greatest number of girls with pretty faces is ...

2

The team with the girls with the longest hair wins.
The team with the girls with the most long hair wins.
The team with the girls with the most number of long hair wins. This team has 3 girls with long hair vs 2 girls with long hair on that team. This team wins.
The team with the longest haired girls wins.
The team with the most long haired girls wins.

Either: The team with the girl who has the longest hair wins.

Or: The team with the most number of long-haired girls wins.

Is this correct to you? Could you help correctly write this?
-> This belt is too small for me. Even if I buckle it at the last hole, it doesn't fit. (Okay)
->How long is a one-year-old baby's memory? Will it remember something that happened months ago? (Okay as corrected)
->How far can newborns see? They can see just far enough to know who's feeding them. (Okay)
->Wedding photography is at the bottom rung of photography. Some don't even consider it (real) photography. (Okay)
->The list of beers is runs from least alcohol content to most alcohol content. (Okay with new verb)
->I don't like to say “drink in moderation” because not everyone has the same tolerance. [Does this make sense?] (Okay although you could add "tolerance ... for alcohol")
->People like that give a bad image our nation. Not all the people of my country are such idiots.

(I would say "create a bad image for" OR "give a bad name to")

-> There are some air bubbles in the wall paper I put up on the same wall as the window. You can only see it with the correct lighting though. The room has to be dark with the curtains drawn but with some light coming in from the sides of the curtain. ~~Only then can you see the default in the wall paper on the wall that the window is on~~. Only then can you see the flaw in the wall paper.

That should do it.
