American English vs English Britain
I want to use British English instead of American English. Won’t this be a problem? Since there are words that are the same but have different meanings?
A few question about English
1.Are British English and American English are much different each other? And are British able to understand what American say? And reverse? 2. Can English speaker catch each words in up-tempo English music?

Does a T-shirt with words like that look weird to a native speaker
I've seen some "strange English on clothes" meme so I'm curious. for example, this outfit literally has a picture of a landscape tagged with its name and address. Is that weird？ I also had a hoodie that I realized the picture on it was just a map of all rivers in a certain part of the United States with some village names on it... I had never noticed the English on my clothes before I planned to visit an English-speaking country. I've already picked out a lot of clothes that I absolutely can't wear because some of them literally have stuff like 'Turn into a werewolf' written on them, which is really cringe lol.
Why is 'Reagan' in 'Ronald Reagan' not pronounced as 'Ree-gan'?
Is it because people get to decide how their own (last) name is pronounced or is there a deeper explanation to it?
What’s the British equivalent of “Friends”?
I want to improve my British English, so I’m looking for a british series with plenty of everyday language — kind of like “Friends”— with some slang and natural, casual speech. I don’t mind which part of England the accent is from, as long as it’s interesting. Oh, and maybe some recommendations for reality shows would help too!

Why is it "were" and not "was"? I thought days are singular?

when can I say "I've"
I noticed this image on the Internet. is it true? so I can only say "I have no idea" instead of "I've no idea"?
