Hello world! As native American speakers, can you tell me if this sounds right?"

" I very love "

So that's basically what happened, I'm 21, I have little work experience and I'm not in college. I've learned English during my teenage years through exposure (mainly by watching yt shorts)

I will now be working in the international arrivals and departures sector of the aiport alongside federal agents.

Less than 5% of the population of the country that I live speaks English.

Just using a single symbol for the top 10 most common words could reduce space used in writing by at least 10 percent. There are some that are already standard such as %, &, or $; and abbreviations such as lol, but many other words or phrases could be shortened for regular use.

Some suggestions

The : ħ

That : ŧ

Not : ∇

For : ₽

But : !¡

Have : l·l

With : ł

To be : Б

It is : Ж

Obviously I don't think this is likely to happen anytime soon, but it's a fun possibility to think about.

I thought my English was decent but sometimes I have to check the lyrics when I listen to Tame Impala.

Obviously i went to public school. But its not like youre only cutting one singular hair. Majority if not all of my hairs are getting cut

Podcasts, songs, TV shows(movies, cartoons), books, games, Yt, social media, talking to people

If any major method is missing just tell me and I will edit the body text

I hope this post gets enough attention and helps people

Did you go to the phone store to get it checked

Or

Did you go to the phone store to have it checked

Which one is correct

And when to use "get" when to use "have"

I’m 40 from PNW-USA and just a few months ago, a woman said “that’s wild!!” at something very not-wild that I said. It’s weird though because I hear it increasingly more. To me, it is (was) kind of an old person term. My mom was a WWII baby so I have a good ear for all of her slangs and she used to always call outrageous shit “wild.” I don’t scroll outside of reddit but has it flung back to our lexicon via content? Or is it me, and “that’s wild!!” never left us?

Is the "sigh" in front of behind the sentence

I need some advice.
My English level is B1. About 15% of my work involves emails, phone calls, and meetings in English, while the rest is done in Arabic.
This situation makes me feel uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassed. Recently, I have taken some grammar lessons, but my business English vocabulary is still limited. I need to improve my business English, especially for my job.
I try to listen to podcasts, watch TV series and movies, and take lessons with different teachers. However, I have not found an effective way to improve my English for work.
I am looking for a practical and effective way to improve my professional English, especially business communication and SME financing terminology.

My friend and I* were having a discussion on our favourite team and their inability to win a playoff game on the road.

That conversation quickly turned into a debate on the word “consistency,” and I became interested in the true answer.

So let’s say in a hypothetical 100 game dataset, a team won every game at home and lost every game on the road.

Would this be considered “consistent,” since you can assume what the outcome will be dependant on location, or would it still be inconsistent?

(P.S.) My grammar has a lot to be desired, if there’s any corrections to be made, don’t be afraid. I figure this is the best place for it.

So I was always taught that the meaning of situational irony is for an outcome to be a subversion of expectations, often in a humorous way.

I’ve recently come across a concept called “cosmic irony” or the “irony of fate” which essentially states that something is ironic if something happens that appears to be “fate” or a divine power mocking you.
You could apply that logic to any kind of misfortune.

For example: “It started raining as soon as I stepped out the door”
You could argue this statement is ironic under this “cosmic” definition, if you are aware that the subject of the sentence regards this as a negative thing.

So, is misfortune irony?

It feels as though it’s trying to shoehorn in different phrases to be ironic that are not classically ironic by adding an imaginary layer to it.

I believe that the classic "I'm old enough to remember . . ." phrase is near the top of my list right now. Dude, it was two weeks ago. Practically everyone on the planet is old enough to remember!

Thanks for sharing! I shall revel in the cloying phrases on offer! Cheers.

My native language is Turkish and I've been reading English novels on paper. I keep running into the same problem: every time I hit a word I don't know, I either grab my phone (and somehow end up in my notifications 10 minutes later) or I skip it and lose part of the meaning. Curious how others deal with this: Do you read physical books, e-books, or both in your target language? What do you actually do when you hit an unknown word? Do you save the words anywhere? Do you ever go back and review them? Have you ever put a book down or given up on it because looking words up got too tiring?

Would love to hear what has worked for you and what hasn't. Because I want to keep going reading books in English but don't know how to solve this problem:/

My level is B1

I don't wanna read some fiction that covers some useless vocabulary like science or war

Like I don't want to use course books or something like that

... and can anybody please tell my why It sounds so awkwardly incorrect to me? It says, "The number you have dialed is temporarily not available". Shouldn´t it rather be something like "This number is currently deactivated. You may try later or (whatever)"

As a non-native English speaker, I have always understood that in negative questions and in negative imperatives, the auxiliary (or the verb) always goes before the subject, instead "not" goes before the subject only when contracted:

Don't you dare! == Do you not dare!

Don't you speak it? == Do you not speak it?

Aren't you from there? == Are you not from there?

In these examples the two versions of the same sentences have the same meanings.

However, I noticed that with the auxiliary "can", changing the position of "not" completely flips the meaning of the sentence.

Can't you move it? = Asking if you are not able to move it or suggesting you to move it

Can you not move it? = Asking you to not move it

Why does this happen with "can" but not with "do"? Am I missing something? Or can both of them actually mean both the things?

Besides the fact that I just learned that written syllables do not have anything to do with phonetic syllables - the way the word "pretty" is split "pret-ty" - the worse part is that the actual phonetic splitting also doesn't make sense.

The word "pretty" is split into "prit-i" → /prɪt.i/, while I thought it would be "pri-ti" → /prɪ.ti/. I cannot even imagine what the difference between those two is, but I just know that my version seems more logical with how I know the word is pronounced than the actual correct version, it just feels so wrong.

Does anyone know why these weird rules when it comes to syllables?
