What’s a word you thought you were using right for years… but later realized you totally misunderstood?
Mine was “literally.” I used to say things like “I literally died laughing” or “I literally can't even”—until a teacher politely explained I wasn’t dying… or doing anything literal at all. Made me realize how easy it is to copy phrases without knowing their exact meaning. What’s yours? Could be a word, idiom, phrase, or even pronunciation mistake. Let’s confess and learn from each other!
Is this insult powerful in English?
Hello guys, so I think I've already got a decent level of English, but I want to take my skills to the next level. I've been playing League of Legends recently and I've noticed an increase of my win/lose ratio when I manage to decimate my enemy's mindset. I am a man of culture so I find boring the mainstreams ones like: motherfucker or son of a bitch. Therefore I've been innovating a bit in this beautiful craft. Could you please tell me if saying: "Shut that well of shit you got as mouth" sounds impactful for you? Does it properly convey the meaning? Thank you in advance!

Native English speakers, can you tell the difference between a native English speaker and someone who is very fluent but learned it as a second language? What gives it away?
I've been learning English for a few years, but I still can't tell the difference between them. I want to be able to distinguish so I can find a teacher who suits me
native English speakers, when you pronounce the s sound, is the tip of your tongue down toward your bottom teeth or up behind your top teeth?
