    "Respect your elders" is a set phrase, meaning to respect someone older than you. It can refer to any age, from 30 to 100. "Elderly" refers to people of an advanced age, and implies weakness, inability, diminished mental capacity, etc. The elderly are people that may need help in their daily lives. "The elderly are especially susceptible to the virus." "Many elderly are not able to cook for themselves." Montoya was called elderly as an insult, meaning that she was too old to do her job.

    "In" is the correct preposition, but we usually don't talk about one specific headline in this manner. We speak more generally and say headlines. "His name is always in the headlines for one scandal or another" "Did you see the headlines today? Things are bad." You can say headline if you are talking about one specific headline. "The headline didn't mention his name, but the article did." "That headline about Trump grabbed my attention."

    "He just saw Tom freaking Brady" or "He just saw freaking Tom Brady" - Either one of these is natural. It makes no difference and both are common. "He just bulldozed in there, like the freaking Swamp Thing" Only this one is natural. Swamp and Thing shouldn't be separated because it is a compound name and not a first and last name like Tom Brady. "Get your freaking dirty feet off the table" or ""Get your dirty freaking feet off the table" This is a toss up. Either one will work, but the first one is more natural because "dirty feet" is a set phrase and shouldn't be separated.

    "Re-finding" is not a word and makes for a strange sentence. It refers to something that we used to have, then lost. Now we have found it again. To me, better words would be return to, rediscover, reclaim. Heaven can be referred to as a paradise, but I don't think the author is talking about Heaven. I think he means a state of mind or a state of consciousness.

    I'm Mauricio Baez, a psychologist with a Master's degree in epistemology. I have read about your workshop, "Food and Ideological Extremism". It was a surprise for me because I didn't know of anyone interested in this topic. I have tried to articulated some philosophical ideas on this topic with local communities in Colombia. For example, I have done some research about traditional markets and primary and secondary qualities in Bogota Colombia. I am currently looking for opportunities to show these projects and looking for opportunities for a PHD. I have taken the liberty of sending you a video essay that I made about the topic. Perhaps you could show you in your workshop. Best regards, Mauricio Baez I deleted "as you can see" because I don't know how he can see this. "As you can see" means literally that you can see something. "As you can see, I am holding an apple." I deleted "however" because it is used to contradict a previous statement. "I wanted to go to the movies. However, i didn't have the money for a ticket." Your sentence did not use it like this.

    In your example, you can use either (each achievement, every achievement) or both (each and every achievement-for emphasis). There really aren't a lot of rules for this. Each is used for people/things thought of individually. Every is for people/things thought of as a group. So it sort of depends on your mental view. Most of the time, which you use doesn't make any difference. Every problem is unique - correct Each problem is unique - correct Also, each is used when describing two things and every for describing more than two things. He wore a watch on each wrist and a ring on every finger.

    "What I like the best is some novels" is correct, but it is an awkward sentence. Better would be, "What I like best is reading novels", or "What I like best is romantic novels". The verb should be singular because the subject is the (one) thing that you like best.

    It is hard to explain these without a recording, but I will try. These are two affectations of the voice and are mainly heard with women speakers. Uptalk or Upspeak or The Rising Inflective is a deliberate rise in the voice at the end of a sentence, as though the sentence were a question. "I asked him if he wanted to go shopping with me", with a sharp rise on the "me".
    Vocal fry is when someone ends a sentence with a drop in tone. Because it is an unnatural range for many women, it comes out as a growl or gravelly sound.It is less a deliberate sound than a physiological reaction to lowering the voice outside of the speaker's range. Kim Kardashian helped to make this popular a few years back. Men also exhibit these patterns, but it is less common. If you search in YouTube, you can hear examples of these.
