The pronunciation of "Roger That"
Spoken quickly, is it "Roger at", or "Roger dat", or what? I find it hard to actually say "rogher THat", with the proper th sound.
Is "Loud minorities" offensive?
So I was having English with a native teacher where we were listing out the advantages and disadvantages of social media. Then I wrote "Loud minorities" as both, with the advantage being that the most opressed and silent minorities in real life could have a voice and share their ideas and thoughts more openly on the virtual world, whilst the disavantages was that the most obnoxious scumbags could spread their hatreds to a wider range of people. But for some reason he got mad, pulled me out of class and said I was a "loud minority" myself and got my behaviorial points deducted. Could I be having any misinterpretations of the phrase?

What's a yogurt girl?
I think I just got insulted
Is this actually "old-fashioned" as the Cambridge dictionary says? What would you do if you heard someone using it or read it on the web? Especially British people :)

Questions about the word “Both” in negative sentences
I came across this section in my cousin’s English textbook on how to use the word “both” in negative sentences. Here is the example from the textbook: “Both my brothers don't like birds” I thought the sentence meant “Neither of my brothers likes birds” But apparently it means “One of my brothers likes birds, but the other doesn't.” Some sites even suggest that “both” cannot be used in negative sentences, which makes it even more confusing for me. Which is correct?
