Algonacchick, does it necessarily mean health? I thought it can mean any kind of success and life quality.

Doing good means that you are helping in some capacity, as in doing good deeds. Doing well means that you are in good health.

Thank you. I just don't want to use them wrong.

I just edited before seeing your post, mellow weasel. Yes, in the video, it is represented as doing well financially. I was thinking of what we were discussing earlier, about looking good and looking well.

I edited, Burger.

Compliments on your efforts

I'm not sure if what I've just said is correct

I looked at it. It looks like the difference is that good is a quality of appearance, and well is a state.

how come that WOWAY is the most literate forum on the internet that I know of?

I count three in this sentence alone.

"How come that" - This is improper construction. Should be "Why is it that".
"internet" - Should be "Internet".
"that I know of" - Your participle's danglin'. Should be "of those I know".

1. I really didn't know that. I've learned that phrase from Eminem song ages ago and was using it ever since
2. What's so special about the Internet it should be capitalised? The only thing I thought before writing was whether to use "in" or "on".
3. That is not a dangling participle! Joke is on you . That's ending a sentence with a preposition, that may or may not be considered an error.

In conclusion, of course I make lots of mistakes, this is not my native language, but I try

Haha you're right about that.
I mean, I deliberately made one mistake to see if you'd catch...
