Search us on youtube or search FOR us on youtube

"Search FOR us on YouTube."
("Search us on YouTube" means "search through our stuff on YouTube." It's quite literal.)
You can also use "Look for us on YouTube" or "Find us on YouTube."

When do I use "I've"? I just stalked her twitter account? -Is this correct?

You're asking about the present perfect tense: http://is.gd/z14za9
But in your example, either "I just ..." or "I've just ..." would be correct.

On my sem break or during my sem break. On my holiday or during my holiday

"On my semester break" suggests that you're on your break right now.
"During my semester break" would describe something you did while you were on your break.
- "I'm on my semester break."
- "I went to Europe during my semester break."
They can both be used to describe what will happen in the future:
- "When I'm on my semester break, I will go to Europe."
- "I will go to Europe during my semester break."

So if I mean "until the battle is won" would it be okay to write "until the battle's won" or a version of that? I'm not sure if the apostrophe is being used right.

"Until the battle's won" = "Until the battle is won."
We use 's to indicate possession (Jo's cat) or as an abbreviation of "is" (Jo's sick) or "has" (Jo's been sick).

Hey! First : thank you for helping in our grammar! You're a bomb! Second: is this sentence correct? -"Whose is this key?"-

1. You're welcome. We're glad to help.
2. "Whose key is this?"

Any is singular right. So is "are there any restaurants around here" considered wrong. And one more question, considered wrong or considered AS wrong ?

"Are there any restaurants around here" is fine.
"Anybody," "anyone," and "anything" are singular.
"Considered wrong" is fine.

What's the difference between throughout and during?

They're similar, but "throughout" suggests that the action was performed continually. "During" could mean "throughout," but it can also mean "at one particular point in the course of something."
- "I slept throughout the lecture." = I slept non-stop during the lecture.
- "I slept during the lecture." = I slept at some point during the lecture (but not necessarily non-stop).

Because it's too cold in here. Is my grammar correct?

Either add an independent clause (a complete sentence) before or after "because it's too cold in here":
- I WANT TO LEAVE THIS ROOM because it's too cold in here.
- Because it's too cold in here, I WANT TO LEAVE THIS ROOM.

Can you give an explanation about "not to" and "to not"? I thought "to not" is grammatically error but I saw many times people using it in their sentence.

"To not" is considered by some people to be incorrect because it splits an infinitive. However, the vast majority of people don't care about split infinitives.
In fact, we wrote an article about this: http://bit.ly/1oZqZdw (Scroll down; it's the second point of the article.)

What is the difference between "center" and "middle"?

"Center" is precise: the center of the circle is exactly equidistant from all other points along the circle.
"Middle" is general: it's near the center but not necessarily exactly in the center. For example, if you were standing somewhere near the half-way point of a very long line (queue), you'd say that you were in the middle of the line.
Moreover, "middle" has very specific uses:
- I am the MIDDLE (not "center") child: I have an older brother and a younger sister.
- During the MIDDLE (not "center") Ages, knights played an important role.
- Let's hope for peace in the MIDDLE (not "center") East.

heheyehye here i am again :D about the alumnus and alumna 'thing', what would be the right term if you are referring for both girls and boys, i mean them as a whole. Is it alumni?

Correct. "Alumni" is the plural of "alumnus" and for a mixture of guys and girls.

Thank you so much for the archieve. itll really help me a lot! cheeers!
