@ashley2015,

I would say, "Your smile can bring warmth everywhere."
or
"Your smile brings warmth everywhere."

This sentence is a different expression but another variation could be:

"'Your smile brings warmth to everyone."

Ash, Rag has hit it on the head

And Ash, no offense at all, but given "I would like to ask if the grammar is correct in this sentence." is typical of excessive wordiness by the esl. One might instead ask, eg, "Grammar ck" or at least "Pse ck grammar--tnx"

I'm only pulling your leg Ash only very slightly. In fact the typical esl has a better grasp of grammar than I, a retiree from the field of journ, one of his major faults however being the unnecessary word

You really think so, C, more so than you being a consummate liar, a thief/plagiarist.

Here's a good example of your propensity to lies and your looniness.

I take exception to an exhortation to mutilate words,
except to bring them fonetically into alignment.
That 's GROSS to leave out letters from please
and there is NO REASON to reduce check to "ck",
as u have requested. Wud u have asked that of an American???

Well Ash, dunno if there are many like Dave--there's S. for instance who objects vigorously to the abbreviation of his uersername-- but if you're the slightest offended by one of those respondents who seems terribly angry at all times about nearly everything, then of course it's okay to spell out the entire word

Indeed, pse do

I appreciate laziness; I 've been lazy all of my life,
but to be too lazy to read PLEASE or CHECK
without leaving out some of the letters:
I gotta say, u beat me at laziness. I bow to u.

The sentence has some problems.
Its a little awkward.
A native speaker 'd be more likely to say:
"your smile warms up (or lights up) the entire room."
Note that it is improbable that her smile
warms up "everywhere" beyond her immediate environment.
"Everywhere" means the entire universe.

Maybe:
"The beauty of your smile warms up the whole place."
"It pays to keep in a good mood" or just: "Stay happy".

In parting, I once blessed a girl:
"I wish u many decades of robustly good health and strength.
May u live in great beauty. I hope that every day of your life
will be 1OOOs of times happier than the day before it."

ashley2015,

I would not say 'Your smile can bring warmth to everywhere.' If you want to imply 'everywhere', you could just say 'Your smile can bring warmth.' Or 'Your smile brings warmth.' This way seems to imply that 'you' have a warm smile.

As far as the second part ('keep a good mood always'), it depends on what you are trying to state. Here's what I think you are trying to say: 'Your smile brings warmth that keeps me in a good mood always.'

It was likely a link that was intended to steal customers/lure customers to that website, Dale.

@dalehileman,

I googled it, Dale, and if I have the correct website, it doesn't appear to be much.

Yes, no, JTT, it seems pertinent and harmless, but we'll never fathom the motives of the typical Forum Moderator
