Help(please)
Hi, there
Could you help me, please?
1)
In the sentence "This week opens Talking Tuesday's quiz night. Leave your guess in the comments box below"?.. Should I say comment or comments box below? And does it sound odd to say "This week opens Talking Tuesday's quiz night"?
2) What does "do well" mean in "Earth types value friendship. Earth individuals do well to meditate and nourish themselves physically" ?
Thank you

1) I think you should say 'comments', as the box was made to contain comments.
And I'm afraid it does sound a little odd. What I think you're trying to say might be written like this: "Talking Tuesdays Quiz Night opens tonight!". Unless I've misinterpreted what you've written, you wouldn't put an apostrophe in Tuesdays either, as the 's implies that Tuesday owns the quiz.
2) I might need a little more context to be sure, but I'd interpret "do well" in one of two ways:
a) 'Earth individuals would do well to meditate... etc.' meaning that it is something that would be good for them
b) 'Earth individuals are good at or have some kind of natural ability to meditate... etc.'.
Hope this helps!
