我女儿从今天去了两天一夜的修学旅行。她们去滋贺京都和奈良。 她们打算参观古寺。 我女儿期待着和朋友一起旅行。所以目的地没有关系。

My new word "comity" Today, I learned the word "comity" from New York Times' Word of the Day, so I made up a sentence using this word. I appreciate your valuable corrections. After concluding the Portsmouth Peace Treaty in 1905, Japan has entered the comity of nations. Thank you for your attention.

My new word "explicate" Today I learned the word "explicate" from New York Time's Word of the Day, so I made up two sentences using this word. I hope someone correct them if there are mistakes. 1) From what he had experienced, he generated a hypothesis and tested it. And then, he explicated it in the journal. 2) The podcast is popular among people because the host of the podcast explicate precisely the meaning of newly coined expressions. Thank you for your attention.

What is the nuances and the difference between "is" and "being"? When I wrote a report that "drivers will submit the following two documents to the office; one is the delivery statements and the other is the delivery slips", my colleague suggested I should use "being" instead of "is". (I mean I should write that drivers will submit the following two documents to the office; one being the delivery statements and the other is the delivery slips.) Honestly, I'm not sure about the usage of being. According to him, using "is" is no problem, but using "being" sounds more professional, but I don't know the nuances and the differences between "is" and "being" in this sentence. I guess "being" means temporary state, but I'm not sure. How do you gramatically explain the usage of "being" in this case in the first place? Do these two sound differently? Thank you for your attention to my entry.

Is there any difference in expressions between "check with" and "check against"? When I wrote that "there were no procedures to collate lot numbers from the quality control department with the ones indicated on documents" the other day, but my coworker told me that I should use "check against" instead of "collate". Then, I rewrote my sentence like this "there were no procedures to check lot numbers from the QC department against the ones indicated on documents." When I consult a dictionary, I found another expression "check with". I also found some examples using this phrase; - I checked your answer with mine. - We will need to check these finished goods with the previous data. - I'd like to check with you about the trip your schedule. I wonder if "check with" is interchangeable with "check against". For example, in the first example that I wrote at work, can I write that "there were no procedures to check lot numbers from the QC department with the ones indicated on documents"?
