nonagenarian
Reading a book! The word nonagenarian is translated to ninety plus year old person. Okay I got that. But I wonder does English have similar words for 20, 30, 40, 50, .... 100 year olds? If I look it up on line it's translated as I would do it: twenty year old, thirty year old et cetera.
Grey or gray?
Just asking
Could you explain it
I'm quite confused by the phrase "because I got ran over". What was he trying to say?
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"
Is this sentence ok? Didn't know you could use "prejudice" this way. Is it a British English thing?
What's the daily, regular word for a person that codes for a living?
Hey everyone, I know it's not a very straightforward question, but what's the generic term for a person that writes code using programming languages? Is programmer a normal word or not? I know there's software engineer and other stuff but is it natural to just say, "He's a programmer"? Like "He's a doctor" instead of specifying and saying "He's a surgeon/physician", can we do the same with programmer or not? Is programmer even a word in today's language or is it outdated? Coder? What's the normal daily generic word? Please I'm begging you Thank you everyone for the input!
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
