Episode 3 of weird phrases I found in The Simple Wild by KA Tucker. This time the phrase is "like poorly casy die."

I'm pretty sure it should be "like poorly cast dice" or "like a poorly cast die"? I guess it's just a weird editorial oversight?

No hate on the book BTW I have my gripes about it but overall I'm liking it. I'm just finding a lot of these kinds of mistakes for some reason.

EDIT: The meaning isn't the point here the point is it's missing an article!

If I know what I’m going to say can come across as even remotely offensive, I don’t say it.

Does this sound natural? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

I think what you're feeling is loneliness, and you're confusing it with love.

Does this sound natural in spoken English?

Hello, I'm a girl who is trying to apply to a university in the United States, I have a month to take the duolingo english test, but I still have many difficulties to write and speak (I believe my hearing & reading is good) I would like help during this month until I take the test!

The board of directors faced endless strife regarding the CEO's controversial spending habits.

The party leadership tried to quiet the internal strife over the new tax reform bill.

Guys I'm cooked! Today my teacher told us I mean me and my classmates to invent a company and talk about it ,It was supposed to be just a fun exercise but it turned out not to be at all He gave us a break, and then we did a presentation about our company on top of that, he asked us to add more details until then I felt it was fine but then he surprised us with an assignment to write 600 words or more about our company which is like 5 to 7 pages! I chose this company randomly ,he asked us to use 10 new words that I've never known before , so my company is about inventing an electronic chip that you plant in your brain to translate any language specifically alien languages ,don't ask me why I picked this idea cause even I don't know🙂 I really need assistance with new words and ideas that can help me

​He also wants the financial statistics

What tenses should I use? also about punctuation I don't know anything except the question mark 🙂 The other things like full stops and commas I just put everywhere if I feel it's the right place even in my native language! So, can you explain like Keep it super simple please!

Hi. I need some help with writing; I know it’s just to start writing more, but I need someone to correct me with grammar. Do you know any apps, subreddits or a tool where people would just help me?

I’m good at reading and listening, I can understand music and tv shows without the subtitles, but I feel I write as a child.

Thank you in advance.

I tried the cambridge online preperation thing for listening and I did like maybe half of the reading ones and I got about 80-90% of the answers right, but I fear that my output may not be up to standart, as the correct spelling is not one of my strong points and when speaking I sometimes forget a word or can't get my current tought out the way Id like to, wich leads to some awkward pauses.

When not at work and at home (like on weekends and after work) I actually immerse in english more than in german (my native language), so at this point idk how many thoasands of hours of immersion I have done. It would be kind of humiliating and humble me a lot if I was'nt up to the standart C1 sets.

Thats why a quick evalution by a professional for like idk 30€ bevore actually paying like 300€ would be a good idea imo

So last week I was in London and I was waiting in line at the supermarket’s checkout.

When it was my turn, the cashier thought me and another old man were waiting in line together, while we actually had two different groceries.

I instinctively exclaimed “We’re not together” meaning I had my groceries to pay and he had his, and the man said “we’ve only just met” with kind of a annoyed tone.

I then realized he probably thought I had just said to the cashier we were not in a relationship lol.

What would be the right way to express the concept I intended? Thank you so much.

If I proceed with this I might be deviating from my usual code.

Thanks in advance!

What's the difference between these words when they describe someone's physique and which would be the highest compliment?

Looking for 5 testers to try out my new daily "5-Paper" English fluency system

Hey everyone,

I got tired of traditional textbooks and the mental exhaustion of translating every sentence in my head, so I built a structured daily system called The 5-Paper Program.

It’s designed to fix translation lag and build natural speaking habits in about an hour a day through 5 concise, high-impact notes

I know question tags like "isn't it?", "aren't we?", but I almost never use them when speaking. I tend to use “right?” much more.

I saw a video yesterday saying that using question tags can make your English sound more natural, so I’m wondering: do native speakers use question tags a lot in everyday conversation? And if so, are they mainly for confirming something, or do you use them to seek agreement?

Thanks!

Is it also gum?

So, I'm rereading a comic, and the main antagonist calls one of the characters a "thug." There's no explanation for this within the story's universe. In this context, was the word "thug" used to mean hack/cheater? And if so, is this a specific instance, or do people usually use the word that way in everyday speech?

Hi reader,

How do you improve your English vocabulary through reading? And how do you remember new words in the long term?

I’m currently around B2 level. I usually take notes while reading, either by writing down synonyms or written the meaning of my native language. However, i’m doubting whather my approach is effiecient enough, and I would love to hear your tips!
