THANK GOD I FOUND YOU. I need help with capitalization rules! Do you capitalize a position? Let's say President, Treasurer, Secretary. Would you just leave the position secretary as lowercased? And when are other times to capitalize something? <3 Much love!

Positions and titles are capitalized only if the title is part of the name we are using to address or refer to the person: President Obama, King George, Secretary Clinton, Chairman Mao, etc.
If "the" comes in front of the position, we generally do not capitalize the position: Jo is the editor of her school paper; Mike is the president of his school club; who is the supervisor of this department?
For other capitalization rules, read this: http://bit.ly/1mChHCX
Cheers. :-)

All of my lecturers used to tell me or all my lecturers used to tell me. One with "of" and the other without

Generally, we use "all of" with pronouns: all of us, all of them, all of him, etc.
Otherwise, "of" is optional. Therefore, "all my lecturers" is fine.

Can you please explain the difference between 'me' and 'I'? In which cases should I use the first and the second variants? And I'd like to know more about punctuation in writing. Thank you!

"Me" is an object pronoun. Use it when something is done to, for, by, etc. ME: Jo gave ME a book. Where is the coffee you made for Mike and ME?
"I" is a subject pronoun. Use it when I am doing the action: I wrote a book. John and I went to England.

What is the meaning of "partner in crime"?

A "partner in crime" is someone who helps you do something. It began as a negative word (someone who helps you commit a crime), but it is now used often figuratively: "Say hi to my wife, my partner in crime."

They do not have a keen mental perception and understanding, are not able to think critically and persevere independently, and do not have the desire to improve themselves. Is the sentence correct?

Remove "a" from "a keen mental perception." The sentence follows parallel structure, but we'd make a few minor changes:
They do not have keen mental perception and understanding, are unable to think critically and persevere independently, and lack a desire to improve themselves.

What are the differences between avenge, revenge and vengeance. Could you provide the explanations with examples in sentences for each word ?

This post explains your question: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1AWrKLb
I want revenge (noun) for what they did to my father!
I will avenge (verb) my father's murder.
Don't let your desire for vengeance (noun) eat you alive. Forgive them.

is "you really are perfect" right ? And what's the diffrence with "you are really perfect" ?

"You really are perfect" = it's not a lie; you truly are perfect.
"You are really perfect" = you are very perfect. (We would omit "really" from this example. Someone can't be very perfect; it's redundant).
"You are really perfect" is like "You are really smart" (You are very smart) or "You are really tall" (You are very tall).

Me and my brothers are were lived in different city. Is it right?

"My brothers and I live in different cities."

what novel do u prefer me to read?

Read anything you enjoy. Reading something every day is MUCH more important than reading a classic once a month.

How to use life and live correctly? Can we use them interchangeably?

"Life" is a noun: My life is great. Enjoy your life.
"Live" is a verb or an adjective:
VERB: They live in New York. Jo used to live on a farm.
ADJECTIVE: Is that song from a live show? They are so much better live, so you should try to attend at least one of their concerts.
As an adjective, "live" is pronounced [lie-v]; it rhymes with "five."

i read a novel and it made me confused "he'd gotten to use it for years" does ((he'd)) mean - he had ? because gotten is past participle, no? as far as i know (('d)) means would :)

In that example, "he'd" = "he had."
If "he'd" = "he would," it would have been "He'd GET" ("He would GET," not "he would gotten").

What does "to put it charitably" mean?

It's the same as "to put it mildly": to understate something; to say something politely.
Jo's dog isn't very smart, to put it mildly.
This neighborhood isn't very nice, to put it charitably.
I've had the best day ever, to put it mildly.

i love to bother you with my command, even i try not to. ... -> i feel this is not correct in the 'to bother' part.

"I love to bother you" is fine. "Love" can be followed by "to" + verb or -ing.

Hi. I'm still confused about using "YET". What's the proper usage of this and ummmn can you provide some example perhaps? Hahahahaha thankyouuu

YET = at the present time: Are we there YET? Is it Friday YET? I haven't beaten "Skyrim" YET.
"Yet" can also mean "but": I am tired, YET I have too much work to do before I can sleep.

I'm still not sure when to use in, at, on.. Stay in home/at home? In the newspaper/on the newspaper? At the corner/on the corner? Do you have article about these prepositions? :'(

Prepositions can be very tricky. Try this article: http://bit.ly/1i6UOWS

10 foot or 10 feet? Thank you :)

They can both be right:
I walked 10 feet.
I ate a 10-foot hot dog.
Used as an adjective, "foot" is singular and follows a hyphen: 30-foot boat, 22-foot shark, etc.

I noticed that in Harry potter movies/books, their English slang sounds a bit different and they also use rare words. Is that British? OR am I wrong abt this? TQ! :)

You're not wrong. It depends on which version(s) you read: http://bit.ly/VtzQaQ
