Sentence Structure/punctuation.
It's really troubling to me, the thought of knowing he's near to where we live.
Is the comma accurate? It's like somebodies asking 'what is troubling to you' in the middle. Maybe an ellipsis should be used ?
You can restructure it: The thought of knowing he's near to where I live is really troubling to me.
Don't try too hard, as your likely to fail. (Comma before 'as') Optional ?
Don't try too hard as your likely to fail (What is the difference between 'as' with a comma and without in meaning ?)
As far as that is concerned; it doesn't really matter to me.
Can you use a semi-colon/colon in this way or is it universally a comma?
