    To "know of" simply means to know somebody or something exists, but implies that you don't really know the person or the thing. There are several examples here, and I'll try to explain each. "I know a different route to get to work" means you are familiar with a different way to get to work. "I know of a different route to get to work" means you simply know that another way to work exists, though you likely aren't too familiar with it. "I know Charlie, your sister's boyfriend" means that you know and probably have met Charlie. "I know of Charlie, your sister's boyfriend" definitely implies that you have never met Charlie, but you do in fact know that the sister has a boyfriend named Charlie.

    Actually, only "I'm taller than he (is)" is the only correct one. HOWEVER, most people use the other one - and they're wrong. So, you have a choice - to be grammatically correct or to use it like most people do. I prefer the correct way. It is my opinion that as long as you know the correct way, and can intentionally use it the wrong way (colloquially or otherwise), you're golden! Enjoy!!

    Makeup and make-up are both correct, but mean completely different things. You apply makeup to your face. When you miss a test in school, you may have to do a make-up test. You use the hyphen here, because it is an adjectival figure of speech - it modifies "test." If it's not used as a modifier here, you drop the hyphen: " I have to make up the test." Finally, not to confuse you, if you create or invent something, you "made it up." For example: "I'm going to make up a sentence to explain the different uses of 'make up' to you." Online is correct NOW. Twenty years ago, when the Internet was new, the concept of "on-line" was fresh and new and the two words had yet to become a word. English is constantly changing, and so eventually "on-line" became an acceptable one-word idea, and the hyphen was dropped, leaving "online" as the word.

    "I like summer better than winter" is perhaps a bit awkward, though not wrong. "I like summer more than winter" is definitely very typical English.

    Can you correct these sentences?

    Twitter, Facebook and Google+ as public mobilization tools have caught the attention of scholars, citizens and journalists since they have motivated people to demand change, rediscovering topics, stories, people and places. However, media content is not usually related to underreported subjects or citizens’ stories, such as racial discrimination, religion or rape.  That is the reason why Al Jazeera English was created in 2006.
