    I've never used or heard someone use oftentimes in a conversation in the United States. The other 3 are fine but have subtle differences. There are other ways to express the same concept. "People usually underestimate how difficult the task is". That's probably the way I would say it and the word order seems more natural but the others sound fine to me. FYI, I'm not a teacher. - *Oftentimes, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* - *Quite often, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* - *Generally, people underestimate how difficult the task is.* - *Frequently, people underestimate how difficult the task is.*

    "As time passes by I become more aware of how quickly my children grow older". "As time goes by" (more commonly used )

    If it's due to regret, then your first sentence is more correct. The difference between the two depends on the context. "I haven't slept for 2 days" could be a situation where someone has been too busy or too stressed to sleep at all during the past 48 hours. "I haven't been sleeping (well) for 2 days" could imply that someone has slept poorly the last two nights. They slept some, but not enough or not their usual amount.

    Your sentence is correct and sounds normal. There are many ways to communicate the same idea, for example: "How many copies do you require?"

    It's not as common to use "thank God" in American English as it used to be, but it's correct to say. You can say: Thank God Thanks be to God (very formal) Thanks to God. "My family is well, thanks be to God."
