Is these expressions acceptable, please indicate YES/NO

Or are they absolutely unacceptable?


You can breathe t h e n or m a l w a y (= through your mouth and nose)

Base jumpers g e t the highest risk, you can ever get.


Is `get�okay? Please tell me if it is a serious mistake or not, don`t just comment.

I would rewrite them as:

You can breathe normally / the normal way, that is, through your mouth and nose.

Base jumpers take the highest / biggest risks one can ever take.

(Suggestion: Instead of writing something l i k e t h i s for emphasis, why not put it in boldface or italics? It is hard to read s o m e t h i n g l i k e t h i s, isn't it?)
