    Another question. The following is my revised writing: It's raining outside, and I'm going to make a couple of pancakes from now. I have some buttermilk pancake mix, so I'll use it. This mix makes nice and glutenous pancakes. I'll add some cinnamon and erythritol. I won't add any eggs because I have only a few eggs left. But I know they will be very good. I kept some parts as original because I believe it's okay. But I have a question. All four correctors I had had a problem with the first sentence and corrected 'from now' to some versions. I don't understand what is exactly wrong there because I think I've heard lecturers or instructors say something like "I'll explain it today from now, but before that let me tell you ...." How am I wrong here?

    I just worry when I see new skyscrapers or overly designed huge constructions, comparing to the amount of things that I can conserve and there are so many serious problems to be taken care of in the world. In the above text, I've been told that the 'comparing' should be 'compared,' but I don't understand why it is like so because the subject of 'compare' is the speaker. Could somebody explain it to me?

    The sentence is simple and thus it's vague. It can mean either way. We might say 彼は悲しそうにじっと私を見つめた。And I think this is more like "He looked at me sadly." For "He saw me looking sadly," we might say 彼は悲しそうにちらりと私を見た。

    "Earlier, I received this letter." Is it also correct to use 'Before' instead of this 'Earlier'?

    Because the pronunciation for the 'i' changes from the 'y' of 'lucky,' I've been wondering what it is. lol

    I think this is interesting. I've got a curiosity of trying to figure this out on Ngram viewer because of a correction I got from a native speaker. Actually, I was using 'about' and wrote "I've almost given up about using it," so it was totally no, no, but then I recalled I knew the phrase 'give up on.' And I've found out that it seems when using -ing form right after, it's preferred dropping 'on,' but otherwise it's 'give up on.'

    宇宙人なんて存在し得ないと私は考える. This is correct!　It's also correct without 得. 「し得ない」is stiff, but goes well with 「と私は考える」. If this is what you want, then I recommend 「宇宙人など（というもの）は」because 「なんて」sounds colloquial. 海外留学では得かねない 経験ができた. →得がたい This is also stiff in style. 「得にくい」is also correct and more common. Actually in either way Kanji version is 「得難い」 「なかなか得られない」is also good. 今、仕事をやめたら無責任だと言われがたい. →言われかねない　 You can also say 言われるかもしれない, 言われても仕方ない, or maybe more possibilities.
