@jgwilson, zhenlijiang 说得很对!网站的measure word: “家”,it's a little bit formal. "个" is the informal one.

@kevg, “通信官”  and "通讯官” are both correct, but we seldom say that! We 'll say "通信员” or "通讯员" instead. Officer can be either "官" or "员".

@themainplace, "缴纳" and "交纳" are interchangeable, when you look up "缴纳" in the dictionary, it's: refer to "交纳"

“保证”, ¹bǎozhèng* v./n. pledge; guarantee | Nǐ néng ∼ méi cuò ma? Can you guarantee there's no mistake?

“保证”,usually go with "product quality产品质量, fulfillment of a mission完成任务...

“保障”, ¹bǎozhàng* v./n. ensure; guarantee; safeguard | Tā shēnghuó méiyǒu ∼. There's no security in his life.

Frequently used with "life生命, property财产, human rights人权"(all serious stuff)

@nudeaintrude, thank you! "中餐" means lunch or Chinese food/meal, it's not a mistake!

FYI: ①Ch. meal/food ②midday meal

@themaiman, I'll say "我去拿登机牌” Wǒ qù ná dēngjīpái,or "我去办登机手续" Wǒ qù bàn dēngjī shǒuxù! Your questions are not annoying at all.

Cheers!

@chijiaoyisheng, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that...that must have been really difficult for you",“哦!听说这件事,我很难过,你肯定很难受吧!Ò!tīngshuō zhè jiàn shì,wǒ hěn nánguò,nǐ kěndìng hěn nánshòu ba!

Thanks for the idea! We'll see...

@chijiaoyisheng, don't worry! It's ok to say "应该少吃一点脂肪含量的食物”,but "少吃一点油腻的食物” is more natural.
