5 Things I learned about English from 2 weeks on Reddit
Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been using Reddit for the past two weeks to improve my English, and here’s what I’ve discovered: 1. Context Beats Grammar Rules✍️ Native speakers don’t always stick to perfect grammar - what matters is how natural it sounds. 2. Slang Is Everywhere 🗣️ Phrases like “spill the tea” ☕ or “hot take” 🔥 seemed confusing at first, but context helped me figure them out. 3. Tone Changes Everything 🤔😅 The same sentence can feel friendly or sarcastic depending on punctuation, emojis, or subreddit vibe. 4. Mistakes Are Okay ✅ Even when my grammar wasn’t perfect, people were kind and focused on understanding me. 5. It’s Like Language Immersion🌍 Reddit exposes you to real, everyday English that’s impossible to learn from a textbook. Anyone else using Reddit to practice English? Share your experience! 😊
what's the difference between "silly" and "dumb"
hi english is not my first language. if i want to say "i feel silly/dumb waiting for you", what do you say? or do you say "foolish" instead?
Business days...
excuse my wording, but what the f*ck are they? I've heard that monday to friday are business days- but then what about 6 business days, do u just gloss over the weekend, or do you make saturday and sunday business days when their turn is up? Like for example: "honey i'll be gone for 8 business days, have fun!" how long are those 8 "business" days context: i am not native, yet i have a c1 level of education with a high vocab in english (including the term business days), but of some choice things i am just completely unaware of the meaning
what do you call a person who can distinguish between different tastes in the same food?
For example if they can notice the different notes of the coffee or tell you what are the spices used in the meal. do we say he/she has a strong taste? or there is other adjectives?
Couldn't agree more! 😂

For native speakers, is the word huzz a bad word or just another way to say hottie

Can we omit “at” and just say “…minutes before…”?

What sentence do you think is written correctly?
1. It is me who am wrong. 2. It is I who am wrong. 3. It is me who is wrong. 4. It is I who is wrong. In my opinion, I think 2, 3 and 4 are all correct, but 2 will be the most formal and archaic, 3 will be the most casual and 4 will be used in a formal context nowadays. It is just my speculation, how about you? Thank you very much!
