Next to zero

Next to zero means very, very small. If the chances are next to zero they are very, very small.

Re:

As you can see, I added some punctuation to your sentence. The first word does, no doubt, refer to something previously stated.

Say:

• What do these two phrases mean?

Since those two sentences aren't related to each other, they don't really go together. In any case, the first phrase is a real phrase. The other is simply three words that happen to be next to each other. 8)

I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking about. In any case, you don't need to say it that way. Say: How do I say it? Also, the phrase is spoken English.

• Thanks.
  Thank you.

I mean I can follow the words you write.But how do I say it--I mean I can follow the words you write.--this sentence--in spoken English?

It is no wonder that you have trouble with that sentence. It doesn't make sense. For one thing, neither someday nor each belong there. That sentence should read more like this:

• There are some phenomena you can count on, but the magnetic field is not one of them.

Capitalize proper nouns.

I don't know which word is the Proper Noun.

I mean I can follow the words you write.But how do I say it--I mean I can follow the words you write.--this sentence--in spoken English?

I'm confused. Do you mean you want to know how you can understand the words if they are spoken?

1. That means put what you learn to good use.
2. In that sentence harbor means hold that viewpoint. It means that is the viewpoint they hold (mistaken or not).
