I think there is something wrong with your website, since the last time your provider made some changes. Now your website layout is compromised and it take a longer time to respond a command.

The provider is still working on it. I'm sure everything will be back to normal soon.

Simon,
you must have looked at my essay.
I found you picked one mistake from my essay:
In comparison with office, home is a relatively quiet and comfortable place for work at.
I see most students here did not find the mistake:
In comparison with office, home is a relatively quieter and more comfortable place for work at.
or:
In comparison with office, home is a relatively more quiet and comfortable place for work at.
I found this mistake after my submitting, however, I couldn't modify it at that time.

Hi,Simon:
I don't understand why use 'in the same place' instead of 'at the same place' ?
I guess most of us can't find this error.
Posted by: Hench | April 25, 2014 at 09:57
Hi Hench,
You can't say "I live at a place". You need to use "in".
Posted by: Simon | April 25, 2014 at 10:14
Hi Simon,
Can I use "attach" to replace "place" in the sentence "employees tend to place less important on working..."
Thank you so much!
