When to Capitalize After a Colon:
-Do not capitalize after a colon if you’re introducing a list.
-When a colon introduces an incomplete sentence, do not capitalize the first letter unless it is a proper noun.
-According to some style guides, you may capitalize the first letter following a colon if the colon introduces a complete sentence. Read on for more details.

comma after sometimes?
The use of commas is sometimes necessary and obligatory, but often is a matter of style and personal preference.
In my opinion, your sentence is perfectly correct with commas, but some people would not put a comma after Sometimes at the beginning of your sentence.
For academic purposes (eg tests) I would include the comma after Sometimes, but otherwise I might prefer a smooth, uninterrupted flow eg "Sometimes I eat pizza."

check vs check out
check out" means to check/see/investigate for the first time.
If I say I will "check out" a website, it means I will go see it for the first time. If I "check" it, it probably means I am going back to the same site I have used before to see if there is an update, etc.

Examples of restrictive and non-restrictive sentences
The correct forms of the sentences provided above are:
"The studies that previously showed oysters are unfit to eat proved incorrect."
"The kitten I bought, which came from the farm down the road, was very friendly."
In the first example, the phrase "that previously showed oysters are unfit to eat" is restrictive because without it, the sentence is completely changed. The sentence "The studies proved incorrect" is not referring to the studies about oysters, but could be referring to any study.
In the second example, the phrase "which came from the farm down the road" does not change the sentence's meaning if the phrase were to be removed. The sentence would still be referring to the kitten that the speaker bought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I will check/check out that website: to check a website is to look for something specific; to check it out is to take a look around in a general way. In practice there is a lot of overlap between the two.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the American system, periods and commas always go inside quotation marks (i.e., single AND double). Thus, sentences 1, 2, and 3 should look like this:
The suspect told the arresting officer, “I was nowhere near the crime.”
“Walk to the corner,” she explained to the child, “and turn left.”
John said, “I have just finished reading Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess.'”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In English writing, all the abbreviations are followed by period (full stop). Etc. is always followed by punctuation mark either in middle of a sentence or at the end of a sentence. If you are using it in middle of the sentence then you will put a period (full stop) and a comma after it (etc.,) to continue sentence and if it is enclosed in parentheses you will put only period (full stop) either in the middle of sentence or at the end of the sentence. If someone is using it at the end of sentence at that time, it will be followed by period (full stop) only.
(a) I asked Ali to bring cola, juice, mineral water, etc for tonight party. (Wrong sentence)
(b) I asked Ali to bring cola, juice, mineral water, etc., for tonight party. (Correct Sentence)
(c) I asked Ali to bring some items from mart (cola, juice, mineral water, etc.,) for tonight party. (Wrong sentence)
(d) I asked Ali to bring some items from mart (cola, juice, mineral water, etc.) for tonight party. (Correct Sentence)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"At the moment" vs. "for the moment"
I am happy at the moment = I am in the now and life is good
I am happy for the moment = life is OK but I know it is going to go all wrong again, just as it always does
I can't see you at the moment. Goodbye, call me later.
I can't see you for the moment, but I'll see you sometime soon when I am free.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not use etc. with a “list” that gives only one example; there should be at least two items listed. And never use etc. at the end of a series that begins with for example, e.g., including, such as, and the like, because these terms make etc. redundant: they already imply that the writer could offer other examples.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Numbers up to nine should always be written in words, anything higher than nine can be written in numerals.

Many people wonder whether to use a space before and after slashes. It depends. When a slash signifies alternatives between only two words, don’t use spaces before or after.
When using slashes to signify alternatives between phrases or multi-word terms or compounds, a space before and after the slash makes text easier to read.
