How do you pronounce “with something”?

Hi everyone, I'm having a hard time pronouncing "with something" without pausing between them for like 1s. If I force myself to say them faster, I either end up pronouncing "something" as "thomething", or "with" as "wiss". E.g.: "be snowed under with something" “with something like that“

"You're being prejudice"

"You're being prejudice"

Is this sentence ok? Didn't know you could use "prejudice" this way. Is it a British English thing?

Counting days 101?

Greets y’all! I’ve got a question. Assume it’s 3rd of March and someone (say my colleague) tells me he’s got a 10-day vacation in 10 days. Does that mean that: 1. His last work day is March 13th and he goes on vac. on March 14th? 2. Starting on March 14th and ending on 23rd, getting back to work on 24th? More of a math question I know, but still. Thanks!

An earthquake was reported OFF Malibu

Does this sentence imply that the earthquake happened in the ocean? As far as I know "off" means away/leading away so OFF MALIBU could mean somewhere near Malibu, but my friend says it's implied it happened in the ocean

How would say an action that's unintentional and brief like a native ?

I'm trying to express that a particular action I took was very brief and unintentional like when you suddenly sneeze, stretch, drink or scroll a social media. These sentences with different adjectives highlighted in **bold**. Which one sounds most natural to natives? Additionally, if none of these feel right, suggestions for rephrasing would be greatly appreciated. Here are the sentences: 1. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a passing action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 2. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a transient action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 3. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a fleeting action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 4. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a split-second action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 5. Alternatively, should I rephrase the sentence entirely? Does the overall sentence structure sound natural to you?

Can we also say “the landing gear doesn’t go down, get down, go up, come up, get up”? Are there any nuances?
