Could someone help me with this sentence? please



1 My credit card withdrawals didn't appear on my back account right away and in the meantime I had deposited money into my account. So my balance read more than I actually had since the bank hadn't taken into account my latest withdrawals and since I owed an establishment some money they seized what I owed them. Basically because of the lag between when I withdrew money from my account and the transaction appeared on my account, I found myself overdrawn and paying fees to the bank.


and these two I'm not sure of


1 money transfer from account to account are overnighted/are done overnight.

2 You're nickname and picture doesn't correspond to the way you play. You're nickname is "generousplayer3" yet its very hard to get all your chips. You should be called "cheapplayer3".

(is correspond the right word?)


thank you

They are paragraphs more than sentences. A sentence ends when there is a period "."

several sentences together are called a paragraph.


In paragraph 1. It is an issue of timing between depositing into an account and taking money out. Because of the timing error funds were withdrawn before the deposit was added. This resulted in being "overdrawn" on the account resulting in unfair fees being charged.


1. Para 2.


Is a caution that it may take over night before the transaction completes.


2. Para 2.


A person is complaining that "generous player" is acting in an opposite manner than the nic name suggests and that because generous player never loses the bet... that the nic name should be cheap player 3. (sarcasm).

THank you, Your corrections might look good on paper but if you were to say it to someone like that it wouldn't sound to natural?


How would you say the 3 sentences without rewording them too much?


thank you so much

I am sorry.


I thought you were having difficulty understanding what the items mean. What you are looking for is how to say them to someone so they can be understood easily.


Is that correct?

Yes please, how would say that in spoken without rewxording them too much.


thank you

You could try replacing correspond with "match" or "suite"

OK thanks , and for the withdrawal paragraph had would you say it? and is it overnighted or done overnight, how would you say?


thanks

I would say "happen overnight" probably, if I were speaking it.


Of course, you need to re-phrase the sentence(s) to fit the suggestions in properly.

thanks a million
