Yes - the commas before which and after "dollars" indicate an inserted relative clause. This shows that it is the bat used to beat the dog and not the ten dollars (though if I were the dog I'd definitely prefer the latter), or not that it "cost ten dollars to beat the dog".
If "is made" is...

Hi Newguest,
For a start, that sentence should really have commas around the inserted relative clause to show that the action that follows still applies to the main subject (experiment) - so:
In fact, the reactions of both groups were so intense that the experiment was broken off after six...

Other alternatives may be:
"Have you got internet access where you are now?" (British English, where Americans would more likely use Yankee's example)
"Can you access the internet where you are now?" (sounds slightly more formal)
Best,

Now that you mention it, it does perhaps sound odd like that - but is it because of the grammar or the potential redundancy of the lexis? When I thought about it, it was the occurence of "spend" and "buy" together that made it feel odd to me.
I hope others can dip into this and help me with...

For your first sentence there, without the word "on" between "money" and "buying", it (can) sound like the money was spent in the process of going or being somewhere to buy books. The "on" would help show us specifically what...

Hi,
Well, this looks to be a personal, reflective piece and I have to say you've done quite well with it.
It could benefit from some further changes, though, in my opinion.
- I honestly think your introduction could be tied back to just the first two sentences. Then you could give an overview...

In addition to julielai's great corrections there, I just wanted to say how well you've organized your writing. A good lead-in to the movie and summary of some of its production details, then the description of the plot in the body, and why you liked the movie and would recommend it to others by...

Yes, I believe it does mean what you suspect it to (i.e. real conducted tests/experiments).
I'm curious - what other meaning did you think it could have?

Neither means "not either (of two things)".
So in your first sentence there is an indirect reference to two machines (you need more context here, because you won't find a statement like that all by itself without a referent somewhere), and both of the machines do not work.
In your second...
