@imsak,
2. The atmosphere there is very much the same as that here
..or in collo you can drop "that"
3. The way you write is hardly anything like his
...that is, his way to write
Your writing is hardly anything like his
4. I think you always do things in much the same way as a friend of mine
…or "another friend" since the implication is that he ain't. Incidentally the "I think" is unnecessary and redundant
…but there I go getting technical again. Good golly Im, but yardwork does call….
5. You now behave in very much the same way I used to, long ago
6. Living in this room today feels something like somewhere else I once was
"……once stayed, visited, lived". I would've said "somewhat" tho don't know why
But Im it's only me. Others will disagree with utmost justice
