3 - L'usage de la forme possessive sans "'s" se généralise.
4 - Because est tout à fait correct,mais nous pouvons garder "for" en tant
que conjonction.
6 - Bonne idée !
8 - "Farther" se rapporte bien à une distance physique.
"Further" se réfère à une mesure dans le temps, ou de degré.

Fame:
3-4 et 8- Cf. ci-dessus pour notre ami Nobody.
7 - Attention à la différence entre adjectif et adverbe.

Medi:
3-4 et 8 - Cf. ci-dessus pour notre ami Nobody.
