It looks like a typo (a typing mistake) to me. Is that the entire sentence, or is there more? If there's more to the sentence, then the word might be "best-connected."

Hi there- being that I have OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder), I can empathize with how you are bothered by the poor grammar and spelling of other users. Actually, it doesn't bother me at all- which is uncanny. Since I am obsessive-compulsive, it seems counter-intuitive that I would not be bothered by people's mistakes in writing. Of course, I make an occasional faux pas myself. I love the English language...poetry, books, etc. But I do understand that there are other people who may not have an affinity for the written word. I believe that in some instances, the individual may be in a rush, and as a result, they are negligent when it comes to constructing their sentences. Some people may be very young people, or may be people who have recently started using the English language, and don't yet have the same proficiency as some native speakers/writers. From that vantage point, I think that many people, even highly intelligent ones, may have some degree of difficulty assimilating. Ostensibly, English is a difficult language to learn for speakers of other languages. There may be mulitiple reasons for this- such as idiomatic expressions, sarcasm, internet/chat terminology, et cetera. \n\nAt all events, I do understand your concern. I have heard of people with OCD who are greatly perturbed by poor grammar, or using incorrect numbers, and so forth. It stands to reason that there are people who do not have OCD who will also have this sort of pet peeve. I used to correct people when they failed to speak properly- for example, if someone were to say "Where is the car at"? I would chastise them for using a preposition at the end of a sentence. I don't know what aspects about me have changed since that time, but I don't normally try to correct people anymore. Please be assured that there are still people out here that love proper writing, as I am one of them. :)

None because:\n\n1.) There are robots all around making our lives easier.\n(took out comma)\n\n2.) There are robots all around, which make our lives easier.\n(added comma)\n*Note: This seems to be incorrect, so I will say that the answer MAY be #2, depending on how you were taught English.\n\n3.) There are robots all around; they make our lives easier.\n(changed comma into semicolon)

false; \n\nmany English mistakes in this sentance , take out the 'of' for a start, should be brother and sister not 'or' no need to go on i think.

No, it does not sound right. It could be corrected as:\n\na. He is/was not able to perform\n\nb. He could not perform\n\nc. He is/ was unable to perform

perhaps if you wrote your question (additional details) in better english it would be easier to understand what you say.  You're intro to the question is very well written...but unfortunately I can't figure out what you mean by the second sentence.  SORRY

I know you're going to hate me for pointing this out, but either one is grammatically correct. There is no right or wrong here. It's simply a question of degree. To what degree has your optimism impacted you? What are you really trying to say? Your intent will determine which word you choose. Say each one out loud and go with the one that feels right for your intended message.\n\nAnd by the way -- it's "moments like these WHEN" (not where).

The literal translation would be...\n\nTo err is (the mark) of any man whatever but to persist in the error is (the mark) of no-one but a senseless (man).\n\nThe brackets indicate words necessary in English to help the translation along but which do not appear in the Latin.

It ain't so! :) lol******* You aren't alone!\n\nIt gives me a headache trying to figure out where one sentence ends and the next begins. UGH...Don't get me wrong...I misspell an occasional word here and there but we are talking about "minor mistakes".

however, not all native English speakers write or speak grammatically correct.\n\ni spot an error that could be overlooked by many in your sentence. "........., the first thing they usually mention is.."\n\nwould be better if "...........the first thing they usually mention has.."

Dunno where you got this sentence from, but I can only make sense of it if I assume that there's a typing error and the writer means 'carrier' not 'barrier,' where 'carrier' is a method of transport (car, truck, plane, etc.).\n\nIn that case the sentence might be better written as:\n\n'Whether or not distance is related to the available means of transport is not clear, because only the most important carrier could be chosen.' \n\nWhoever wrote that should be taken out and shot. Hope I guessed right.

The word itself generally means "nearby", "close", not distant from something else.  \n\nHowever, it may have special meanings in various disciplines, so one has to know how its being used in those contexts to be sure.

You mean Syntax error???

Miscue\nCoined by Ken Goodman in the mid 1960s, a miscue is any departure from the text when reading orally. Use of miscue instead of "error" suggests that mistakes are not random, but occur when the reader tries to use different strategies to make sense of text, and emphasizes that not all errors are equal -- some errors represent more highly developed reading skills than others. Miscues can be analyzed to suggest what strategies the reader is using or lacking, and what kinds of additional instruction might be helpful.

I dont know, but you should concern yourself with the distance between you and a dictionary. they are available online everywhere. no time like the present.

The correct phrase is "by accident." "On accident" is incorrect.
