Are these sentences fine?

I'd skip the "of"

Okay if hissy

Any one or two in particular

Thank you! In general, is there anything wrong or ungrammatical in the other ones (besides those changes I should make)?

Drac you have to forgive an old fella who's not sure where he's been or where he should go, or who has the time to review it all. Do select a sentence or at most two upon which I might comment

For example, these ones:
-We are thought of as individuals ,rather than as members of a group.
--Some children are thought of as exceptional.

Drac I recall having commented that I'd certainly omit the comma and maybe the second "as"


I'd'v omitted "of as" while 'Steada "thought of" I mighta writ "considered," but that's only me.

You are quite right, but your comment was on a very similar example with "consider" instead of "think of someone as":-).
I guess I have to rephrase the other similar sentences as you suggested.
P.S.I hope that at least the other elements of those examples are correct.

Which one for instance Drac

I was thinking of the use of the adjectives (essential and exceptional) and of the nouns (individuals and members).

I also wanted to ask an off-topic question. In a sentence like this:
-He is a great man. "a great man" refers to the subject "he". In a sentence like "He is viewed as a great man", I would say that "a great man" refers to "he" even though a form of the verb "to be" is not used. Does this mean that the verb "to be" is used impicitly?
-He is viewed as a great man.= He is viewed as being a great man?
Does this apply to other similar structures like "be seen as..."/ be considered (to be)/ find sth (to be).../ be described as.../ be perceived as.../ come across as.../ be characterized as...and so on?

I'd say yes Drac apparently so

However we're in an area 'way beyond my everyday capabilities

The usage seems okay to me but I'm not sure just what to look for
