'He has some HEALTH PROBLEMS.' vs 'He has some PROBLEMS WITH HEALTH.' - are both used or is the former more natural?
Hello everyone, Is there a rule on how the word 'problem' is used? From what I've noticed a noun is often used **before** the word 'problem' as in 'a homelessness problem', or 'a drug problem'. Is that usually the case? Thank you so much!
Is this an instance of complement fronting?
>We define the bitwise OR, bitwise AND, and bitwise XOR of two strings of the same length to be the strings that have **as their bits** the OR, AND, and XOR of the corresponding bits in the two strings, respectively. —— *Discrete Mathematics and Its Application* Hi, I am trying to understand the function of "as their bits" in the sentence above. Is it an instance of complement fronting? If so, can that attributive clause be rewritten as "that have the OR, AND, and XOR of the corresponding bits in the two strings as their bits"? I have struggled for hours to find an appropriate grammatical explanation in various books, but none of them discuss this type of complement fronting :( Thanks in advance!

Is "A aligns with B" equivalent to "B aligns with A"?
I'm writing to express the similarity between the research directions of a professor and mine with "his research aligns with my project". I wonder if this is improper. Does it imply that my project is more important and provides a standard that the professor should "align with"? Should I say "my project aligns with his research" instead? ChatGPT told me the sentence is fine, and suggested using "his research resembles my project" if I want to be more neutral. Is that right? TIA
