English question
Hi, there
Could you help me?
1) Would you say "I much prefer it" or "I prefer it much more"? What about "I like it much better", "I like it much more", "I like it way better"?
2) In this sentence, "It didn't fracture the bone but a hit like that can knock you around something wicked.", why not just "knock" instead of "knock around"?
3) Do you use me or myself in these sentences?
"What would the price be for such a one as myself/me"? And "what would the price be" or "what would be the price"?
"Many people, such as me/myself, love this"
Please!
Thank you very much

1) It depends on what you like to use. "I much prefer it" sounds a bit professional and "i prefer it much more" sounds less professional in a way.
"I like it much more" would have a different sound in it but it's more casual. Casual is "i like it much better" and the others.
2) I can't exactly answer this question but "knock you around something wicked" is referring to (i'm assuming) like not directly being affected by it (wicked). In other words, the wickedness is surrounding you. It's almost like a metaphor (or is a metaphor)
3) I'd say "myself" should be used. These sentences would either sound like someone at a higher rank and then the others are pretty much casual/normal.
