In terms of grammar, I wonder if all three sentences below are correct..

  1. It was reviewed but deemed to be not offensive.

  2. It was reviewed and not deemed to be offensive.

  3. It was reviewed and deemed not to be ofensive.

If anybody could check, that'd be smashing.

write Slovakian?

I'm currently working on a testimony of a Holocaust survivor now deceased

I've tracked down an address via the Slovakian Embassy of the house where she & her family used to live in Slovakia during the war

I need to write a letter to the address to find out if there is still a house here

I've already tried Google street view but there's no image available

Many thanks

At least in the online version of the Collins Dictionary anyway.

'Totes', 'amazeballs' and 84 other new words have been added this month.

Part of the evolution of the English language? Or just a stunt?

I am looking for the correct translation of the german word 'Anklageschrift' (I think that is the correct German at least).
The paper you get that specifies with what you are indicted as you stand before court. Is this document called "prosecution letter" or is it something else?

"Here you just get arrested, if you do your work as a journalist. But I never before read such a ridiculous prosecution letter."
