What's the opposite of cash money? [US]
If a person has no cash on them, only money on their card, what would a possible dialogue sound like? – You got some cash? – Nah, only XXX. (digital? card money? electronic? bank funds? or is there no term for it in the regular language?) Thank you everyone!
Does this sentence sound dirty?
I'm reading a book about natural hazards. The topic is flash floods, but I am unsure if it sounds weird out of context. "..., peak discharge can be reached in less than 10 minutes."
Do British people use phrasal verbs more often than Americans?
I've noticed that when I read novels by British authors, I come across more phrasal verbs than in American ones.
“I gapped in 2023.” Does this sound natural to mean I didn’t take any courses in 2023? Thanks.

Why do I get asked if I'm Brit or Australian, when I've been influenced my whole life by American media? Not to say that I lived in the US https://voca.ro/1nYtWHyHcxROfor 7 years.
The title people. I'm a NNES who lived in the US for nearly 7 years. Since I came back to my home country, I've had exposure to the language on a daily basis. I work with International Sales and have built a solid corporate career at international companies. This might be the only reason people ask me if I'm Australian or brittish. I work with people from all corners of the world, including a few colleagues from the UK and lots of Japanese. What's your take? Do I sound British at all? P.s: I find the British RP accent gorgeous and sexy but I really think i don't anything of in my accent. My "r"s, the tt.... I don't know everything is different. Maybe the Magic E? I do say hooooope, stoooole, liiiike etc. Don't ask me why I do. I just do and I don't even know how and when I started doing. I think I've picked up people's accent over these last years working in a very international environment. https://voca.ro/1nYtWHyHcxRO
Dating down VS passport Bros
I heard those terms many times in my English learning Journey, my question is: is people using those terms negatively or positively? Is it normal to say that I am a Passport Bros etc? Is there a fight over those terms? 👌 However, I want to improve my English with native speakers only. I can help with Arabic in return. Please DM me.
Jarring used to describe touch?
Can jarring be used to describe touch? What are examples?
what does this “diddy” mean? and would any native speaker get sort of idea what the whole thing this video is from this thumbnail?

Why 'W' is double U
Not double V
Is "write me" incorrect?
A lot of learners use the verb to write to mean to text or to message... i used to say it but the native speakers never corrected me and then i realised that the native speakers dont really say that
