I was told something and now I want to get a more detailed explanation of what the person just said (or wrote).
For example, the person wrote to me:
The key difference between the two definitions is that valid is a property of sentences and satisfiable is a property of sets of sentences.
Now I want to get that sentence to be explained in more detail to me.
I answered:
Can you please elaborate?

Questions:
- Is this the right way of asking someone to give a more detailed explanation of what he just said (or wrote)?
- What are other ways (maybe better, maybe just other) of asking someone to give a more detailed explanation of what he just said (or wrote)?
- Is there a difference when we speak and when we write? I mean, maybe some variant is better to use when we speak and some is better when we write?
If there is a difference between American English and British English regarding that topic please write that too.
