Grammar rules for using "flatly denied" I would vote to close this just for spelling "grammar" incorrectly on ELU. |

"Paradise" vs. "heaven" "It was a paradise perfectly equipped for the survival of all of God's creatures ..." (books.google.co.in/books?id=VIMj6gP3Q9wC&pg=PA37) "We learned that Fairfield, "quietest town in the U.S.," was close to Travis, so I and my classmates decided to go see it for ourselves. On the way there in the cab, we came upon a nightclub with nude dancers. We had to stop and go inside. It was like heaven for us young guys. I'd never seen anything like this in my life. We never made it to Fairfield." (books.google.co.in/books?id=tLvy_THW7EAC&pg=PA136) |

Correct usage of Infinitive Even in the present tense, call to someone is incorrect or at least awkward. This is a NARQ. |

"Paradise" vs. "heaven" "I was in Bahamas. It was a paradise" -- not heaven. Usage-wise, we call something Paradise when referring to how it is; whereas we speak of heaven when speaking about how we feel about it. "I spent a week in the Bahamas. Life was heaven!" |

What is there in the English corpus beside nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc? @AndrewLeach 'Automated heuristics' are built from human knowledge and theories, strengthened by statistics. Even the human reader cannot always tell for sure what a word is: 'For example, what is unidentified in that sentence?' :) |

What is there in the English corpus beside nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc? I still have my doubts -- why should the figure hover around 80% all the time? What's special about that magic number? |

What's a word for "properly oriented"? Try to also include what you think that word means and why that would work or be a better fit. You have lots of space for an answer. Support, substantiate and strengthen. |
