If you have used other resources (e.g., Merriam Webster's.) to answer the question, include citations in your answer.

Input: Consider Input: How does one correctly apply 'in which', 'of which', 'at which', 'to which', etc.? I'm confused with which one to apply when constructing sentences around these.

Output: The trick to knowing how to use; of which, at which, in which, to which, from which is to analyse the prepositional phrases, phrasal verbs, verbs and prepositions: He /spoke of/ war and peace and many other topics that day. The topic /of which he spoke/ was complex. The verb here that means to speak about a topic is /to speak/ of a topic/: to mention The party /at which/ he spoke/ was noisy. Phrase: A party is held /at a place/. It is implied. The situation /in which/ we found ourselves was dire. Phrase: /to find oneself /in a situation. The bonds /from which/ we broke free were tight. phrase: to /break free/ from bonds. The town /to which/we were driving was 50 ks away. phrase: to /drive/ to a place. Summary (and not a complete answer but a general one): The preposition depends on the verb that takes a preposition, a phrasal verb that includes a preposition, or it depends on the prepositional phrase used. Also, there are many other prepositions that can be paired with which: under, during, about, over, etc.

Input: Consider Input: Is there a specific reason for this? After all, it is 'boys and girls', rather than 'girls and boys'. If the boy (male) comes first here, why doesn't it come first in 'ladies and gentlemen'?.

Output: It probably has to do with the phonetic and metrical properties of 'ladies and gentlemen' versus 'gentlemen and ladies.' Say them both out loud and see which one sounds better to you, intuitively. The metrical pattern of 'ladies and gentlemen' consists of (arguably) two dactyls. A dactyl is a group of three syllables where the first is stressed and the second two are unstressed. When these occur in succession, they are pleasant to the ear. ladies and gentlemen DUM da da / DUM da da The metrical pattern of 'gentlemen and ladies' falls into a much less regular pattern. It is less pleasant to the ear. It is something like a stressed syllable followed by three unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. gentlemen and ladies DUM da da da DUM da Our language tends to organize itself according to regular and pleasant stress patterns. My guess is that is why we feel more drawn to 'ladies and gentlemen' than 'gentlemen and ladies' and why the former has conventionalized.

Input: Consider Input: Is there a feminine equivalent for 'Casanova' without negative connotations?.
Output: I don't think you can find a term that is entirely symmetrical, because the cultural concepts of romantic and sexual pursuit aren't symmetrical. Identical behavior in a man and a woman will usually be interpreted differently in most cultures I know. The reason it's hard for you to find a non-perjorative female counterpart to casanova, and the reason so many of the suggestions given here are either negative in connotations (maneater, siren) or full of other connotations (Mata Hari, Cleopatra) isn't in the words and names, they just reflect a cultural bias inherent in our society.
