"I didn't understand the first part of your speech. I also don’t understand...

[MeyaN]

"I didn't understand the first part of your speech. I also don’t understand what you mean by saying our thoughts are a product of social conditioning fully".

Is it correct to use "also", the way it's used above?
Should there be a comma before "fully"?
If there were 4-5 lines after "by saying", people would find it difficult to connect "fully" to what I started the sentence with["I also don't understand"]. They may consider it as the part of the last line due to time lapse created by those 4-5 lines and hence forgot the phrase I started with, though they may register the gist of the sentence I started with in their memory (please correct and shorten this sentence too). So how do you reconstruct the sentence in such cases where a huge paragraph is followed by an adjective, which connects to a sentence that is before the paragraph?

Yes, it is.

I agree with you about the use of "fully" though.

It should have been "I don't fully understand, etc."

I haven't bothered to correct the rest of your post; it's repetitive and it would take me too long to fix it.

I understand it takes a few minutes, but that's my major problem - inability to articulate briefly. It'll be of great help if I'm pointed out where I'm using redundant words. Also it's of four lines only.

Thank you very much.

I think the red part below can be omitted.

Is it correct to use "also"[STRIKE], the way it's used[/STRIKE] above?

Hmm, I would say:
Is it correct to use also in the above?

Re: "I didn't understand the first part of your speech. I also don’t understand...

Use "distance" or "interval" instead of "time lapse" in that sentence.

that's my major problem - inability to articulate briefly.

I would ask the question briefly as below:
How would you reconstruct this sentence, where 'fully' is far apart from the verb it modifies and thus confusing?

"Is it correct to use also in the above?"

Is "in the above" the right way of saying? Is saying "Is it correct to use 'also' above?" wrong?

Thank you.

I think both 'above' and 'in the above' are correct in your question.

You have to mark the text that you're discussing. Either surround it in quotation marks or set it in italics:

"Is it correct to use 'also' in the above?"
"Is it correct to use also in the above?"

Quotation marks are more noticeable than italics, to which people with poor sight like me might be oblivious.

I had found 'good sight' above, so I wrote 'poor sight' in my post.

Perhaps good sight​ is OK in British English. It just looks wrong to me.

The string "https:" was somehow truncated to "ttps". Try this corrected link.
