comment What is the らせ form of a verb?
You should link to the previous question. Just because these posts are chronologically close doesn't mean someone who only looks at this one will be able to find the other one.

[[ てなわけで (using て for という, but as to where the な comes from, your guess is as good as mine) ]] Maybe ~というようなわけで???

comment What is usually written at the end of a slides presentation to imply “Thanks for listening”?
Beat me to it! ;). Note that the reading is せいちょう. However, there is another せいちょう that means nearly the same thing: 静聴. While 静聴 simply means "quietly listening", 清澄 has more of a respectful nuance to it.

comment Ending sentence with ~だもの or ~ですもの
Yes, this 〜もの is a "reason giver" word, usually used for personal excuses. So since the character was asked why she ate all the cake, this makes it her excuse.

comment What does コピー mean in this context?
Although this forum certainly allows for these questions, it often seems like you are trying to learn Japanese just by translating tweets. I would not recommend that.
