A: Both 1 and 2 essentially have the same exact meaning, but number 2 comes off as more derogatory and negative, by adding “best”. It also implies that more thought was added to it, for example you can say “to my knowledge” or “to the best of my knowledge”, the 2nd of which indicates that the knowledge has been carefully thought through, if that makes sense. Honestly, “best” on this context is more of a filler word than anything else.

A: Yep, to my understanding, you are correct. There isn’t a big difference and they are interchangeable I believe. In my opinion, I think to my understanding is used more.

A: In the first situation the person has understanding since the begining, while in the second situation he was understanding what has been said or explained before, does not imply since when he understood, just says it was in the past.

A: Comprehension requires significant thought by the person comprehending, rather than just being told. For example, comprehending the meaning of a book or comprehending why someone did something both require thought. Understanding can come just from being told, without having to think much. However, when you comprehend something, you also understand it.

A:

I am not very good with Korean, so I am going to do my best to help with just English.
1. Dress - to cover in clothing (in this context)
2. Get Dressed - to cover oneself in clothing
3. Dress in - to cover in clothing (must specifically state the clothing)
4. Get Dressed in - to cover oneself in clothing (must specifically state the clothing)
5. Put on - to cover in clothing (must specifically state the clothing)

There are essentially three verbs here: to dress, to get dressed, and to put on. "To dress" means to place clothing on.
I dress my sister. --> I place clothing on my sister.
Harriet dresses her great-grandmother. --> Harriet places clothing on her great-grandmother.

"To get dressed" means to place clothing on oneself. This is a reflexive verb.
I get dressed. --> I place clothing on myself.
Rob gets dressed. --> Rob places clothing on himself.

By using the preposition "in" with either of the above, it becomes necessary to specify the clothing being placed on the individual.
I dress my sister in a gorilla suit. --> I place a gorilla suit on my sister.
Harriet dresses her great-grandmother in a long skirt. --> Harriet places a long skirt on her great-grandmother.
I get dressed in a sweat suit. --> I place a sweat suit on myself.
Rob gets dressed in a bathing suit and sandals. --> Rob places a bathing suit and sandals on himself.

"To put on" is a phrasal verb that is very similar in meaning to "to get dressed in." As it is much shorter, it gets much more usage than the other. Additionally, "to get dressed" has a connotation of an entire outfit being put on whereas "to put on" can be anywhere from an accessory to a single piece of clothing to a full outfit. The items to be "put on" must always be listed, otherwise "put on" will have a very different meaning.
I put on my sweat suit. --> I placed the sweat suit on myself.
Rob put on his hat. --> Rob placed the hat on himself.
Mom put the watch on her son. --> Mom placed the watch on her son.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

A: × "If you don't have a full understanding of a language, it's hard to keep making conversation by yourself without having a partener like youtuber."
✓ "If you don't have a full understanding of a language, it's hard to keep making conversation by yourself without having a partner."

A: yeah that's also correct.. we can use whether in that sense too...

A: The "By now" comes from the context of the game but yes, "You think people would...” means they should or that you expect it.

To explain the logic I will add information to the tweet:

"You would have thought that people learned to build bridges and inclines before terraforming but this example shows that has not happened."

We don't say "but this example shows that has not happened" because it is obvious. We know that has not happened because the tweet above terraformed first. Like how you don't say 私 or あなた when you both know who is being talked about.

"You think people would..." is a shortened casual way of saying "You would have thought that people...".
