673 | stsbenchmark | validation | These are interesting studies, but the bottom line is: yes, environment affects cognitive abilities. | I'm not sure what you mean by cognitive capacity, but I absolutely believe that language shapes the way we think. | 1.6 | 0.1 | 0.39 | 0.32 |
674 | stsbenchmark | validation | Since this is a relatively new problem for behavioral researchers, I don't know that there is a common consensus. | I'll address just the first of your three sub-questions, the others have been answered by Chuck Sherrington. | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0 |

678 | stsbenchmark | validation | In addition to oil, make sure the grill is nice and hot before you start cooking. | I'd been using paper towels to oil the grill, and I just discovered that newspapers work a lot better. | 1.6 | 0.09 | 0.48 | 0.32 |
679 | stsbenchmark | validation | The best way I have found is to soak the ears in husk for several hours before grilling. | Soak whole ears in the husk in a bowl of water. | 3.2 | 0.23 | 0.44 | 0.64 |
680 | stsbenchmark | validation | There are actually quite a few differences between the different types of flour. | The difference is the amount of protein contained in the flour which can range from 5% to 15%. | 2.6 | 0.07 | 0.44 | 0.52 |
681 | stsbenchmark | validation | I've never adjusted the length of time based on number of eggs. | I don't boil eggs enough to keep a feel for the timing... | 3 | 0.05 | 0.42 | 0.6 |

686 | stsbenchmark | validation | I believe one cannot taste the difference between minced(canned) and fresh garlic once it is cooked. | In my experience, fresh garlic is great for when you want texture, or to slow down the flavour infusion. | 1.8 | 0.13 | 0.41 | 0.36 |
687 | stsbenchmark | validation | I grill salmon that I get with the skin on. | Salmon is a great choice and it's readily available pretty much everywhere. | 1.8 | 0.05 | 0.37 | 0.36 |

693 | stsbenchmark | validation | Good cheddar has little chunks of calcium lactate on/in it - could it be that? | I have two suspicions: One, you're undercooking your roux, the flour and butter mixture, and not fully incorporating the flour. | 0.6 | 0 | 0.34 | 0.12 |
694 | stsbenchmark | validation | Copper can be useful for certain tasks due to the its metallic properties (heats quickly, distributes heat evenly, etc. | Probably subjective, but ...

698 | stsbenchmark | validation | The assertion is false, at least as you've restated it here. | "I had mainly been" is fine, in the context you're using it. | 0.6 | 0.1 | 0.48 | 0.12 |
699 | stsbenchmark | validation | I'd suggest you look to the constructions of the native language(s) of your students. | As bikeboy389 said, you can learn a lot by looking at students' native languages. | 2.8 | 0.08 | 0.47 | 0.56 |
700 | stsbenchmark | validation | I see some references to status as uncountable as well, but that doesn't make much sense to me. | There are some cases "status" may be accounted of countable. | 2.6 | 0.04 | 0.45 | 0.52 |
701 | stsbenchmark | validation | If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a hypernym of inclusion and exclusion. | Inclusion is the act of including and exclusion is the act of excluding. | 2.6 | 0.15 | 0.47 | 0.52 |
702 | stsbenchmark | validation | Firstly, you should be aware that there are two different kinds of dashes: the en dash and the em dash. | Semicolon is used to join sentences that can stand alone, but are joined to emphasize their relationship. | 0.6 | 0.06 | 0.44 | 0.12 |
703 | stsbenchmark | validation | Pardon the brevity of this answer, but I would say "named" is preferred within the context of your example. | Named is preferred in your example, since you are formally giving a name to your method. | 4.4 | 0.1 | 0.45 | 0.88 |
704 | stsbenchmark | validation | In standard English, I think "don't got" has the same register as "ain't". | I'd say the expression I don't got... is generally rare in spoken AmE. | 2.2 | 0.13 | 0.47 | 0.44 |

708 | stsbenchmark | validation | I can only think of context using insofar as or insofar that. | The form insofar is American English; the standard form in British and other English is 'in so far'. | 1.8 | 0.04 | 0.43 | 0.36 |
709 | stsbenchmark | validation | As others have said, "ten of six", though not used in many English speaking areas, would be understood as 5:50. | "Ten of six" probably means 5:50 but I have not heard it before. | 3.8 | 0.14 | 0.39 | 0.76 |
710 | stsbenchmark | validation | Certainly many usage guides have advised against use of this "singular they" on various "logical" grounds. | Second one (for writing purpose), if I believe the "THEY/THEIR (SINGULAR)" article. | 3 | 0 | 0.42 | 0.6 |
711 | stsbenchmark | validation | This may be overly obvious, but in American English, saying "you're welcome" is certainly polite and standard. | I'm not sure how "Not at all" sounds in response to "thank you". | 1.4 | 0.03 | 0.36 | 0.28 |
712 | stsbenchmark | validation | Back in the day, "cable" was used to describe communications sent abroad. | The word "cable" has its origins in the days of the telegraph. | 3 | 0.16 | 0.49 | 0.6 |
713 | stsbenchmark | validation | Those expressions could have slightly different meanings especially when talking about finance. | I suspect the phrase originated in the habit of drawing the internet as a cloud shape on network diagrams. | 0.4 | 0 | 0.4 | 0.08 |

722 | stsbenchmark | validation | I recently stumbled on a great article that talks about protein consumption for the purposes of building muscle (recovery included). | Low reps with high weights don't add mass because the duration of the exercise is kept short. | 1 | 0.06 | 0.41 | 0.2 |

727 | stsbenchmark | validation | Since you're being kind of vague here, I can only give you a vague answer. | In general, warming up your muscles only requires performing the movement with lower weights. | 0 | 0.04 | 0.41 | 0 |
728 | stsbenchmark | validation | First of all, as a general matter of fact you suppose to change your workout routine in every 3-4 weeks. | You can mix those, but in my experience, it will be very difficult at first. | 0 | 0.06 | 0.38 | 0 |
729 | stsbenchmark | validation | Properly executed weight training will increase, not decrease, your flexibility and mobility. | I've seen guys that are still very flexable while lifting weights. | 2.2 | 0 | 0.42 | 0.44 |
