I'm not sure what the sentence below means.
"All the materials we use are Australian by content and sourced globally."
what do you mean by "by content" here?
Is it like, they use Australian materials only when its content is good, and when it is not, they use those sourced globally?
or th...
I think the writer was thinking of "(people at The New York Times) NY Times"
Sometimes I do this myself. I'm sure I've seen many native speakers do this, too, sometimes. I'm sure that they would rephrase it in formal writing, though.
If one is 'beyond reason to deal with' then wouldn't this mean that
they are more than reasonable to deal with?
No, it means the person is beyond the point where it's possible to reason with them. Perhaps they're in a hurry, or drunk, or in a fever of pain, etc. "Below reason" is not use...
> "Below reason" is not used in English.
Hmm... okay, what should we use, then?
> A: There are three paths one can take: above reason, within reason and below reason. Reason is the self of man, his concepts, his mentality, and his education.
"Cancer is deeply sensitive and easily hurt", they say.
(Sorry, I just want to lighten it up a bit.)
"Taurus is the one who has immense perseverance, even when others have given up, the Taurus rages on. Solid and persistent, just like the bull, which is Taurus' well suited symbol."
The question about patients above makes me think of one aspect in Thai, we seem to be omit the word โรค sometimes, even though it's unclear when are those times.
Yes, this sentence is grammatical, but it is a bit strange. We only normally use this kind of grammar with emphatic adverbs like extraordinarily, not everyday adjectives like very. We would very rarely say something like this, although we might write it. Here are some examples from published book...
Hint: if you remove the Just as or the As clause from the two sentences, you will see that the first sentence has one verb, but the second sentence has two. Also notes that it should be insofar as, not just insofar. — Damkerng T.41 mins ago
@DamkerngT. It was destiny. If you hadn't written notes instead of note then you wouldn't have mentioned it in chat. If you hadn't mentioned it in chat, I wouldn't have looked at the question. And if I hadn't looked at the question, I wouldn't have written this!
The sentences are different because so and insofar as are different types of word. So is a proform adverb. In sentence (1) it means a modern phenomenon. When this type of so is moved to the front of the clause, we have to change the position of the Subject and the auxiliary:
Mary is hungry. So ...
It may come up when you're around (and if you have enough rep points, which you have!). Normally, it will take about 5 opinions to see whether the flag is valid or not. Once it's decided, the flagged message will disappear (and so will the blue circle) or will be kept according to the votes.

I wonder how many times a stack has to answer (roughly) the same question before everyone realizes that it has already had a similar question/answer on the same stack.
She is as beautiful as her sister .
She is as very beautiful as her sister .
Can I use 'very' between
'as' + 'very' + (adjective) + 'as'
If not, why ?

What is the adjective for a person that has cancer? For example, cancerous individual, cancerous child, or something else?
