Are all the bold words fine in the sentence?

Thanks.


No lionel, the words in bold are not "fine", what they are is merely "correct". Ask yourself:

1) What point did I want to make in this compound sentence?
2) To whom am I writing?
3) Did I ask if my word use was "fine" because the word "fine" was in my forebrain?
5) Ignore Faldage. He thinks he is the cat's pajamas.
