Is this sentence grammatically and semantically correct ?
Favorite Answer:Technically, it's correct. But I'm not sure your reader would get your meaning. "Exemplary" is usually used in a positive sense. While it can mean "a punishment that sets an example", people are more likely to take it that you are praising the rapist.

Which word is correct?
Favorite Answer:As is so often the case, it sort of depends on what you want to mean. I suspect very strongly you want to mean "to". waving to him (signaling goodbye) and not waving at him (trying to get his attention).
