Is it okay to use british english but speak with american accent?
I'm kinda shocked why no one has questioned about this before! 😳 Or was there already the post about this? Tell me
Time notation, is a dot valid between hour and minute?
I am reading a book and came across this notation. I suspect the authors are mainly British and I have been historically much more exposed to American English and notations. Is a dot between hour and minute valid in formal English? Is it contemporary?
What would you call this drink? Is there a name for it in English? (it's made with dried fruits - apples, pears, raisins, apricots etc., + sugar and water, and you let it simmer for a little bit)

Is it correct to say 'We've GONE skiing'? Or should it be 'We've BEEN skiing'?
Hello everyone, I heard a native speaker say 'We've GONE skiing, we've played in the snow' talking about the fun things they've done as a family in the winter. I know it's supposed to be 'We've been skiing' because 'We've gone skiing' means you're still skiing and are not back yet. I'm wondering if it's acceptable and common to use 'gone'. Thank you so much, wonderful people. I hope you're having a great day!
Do you have a word in English you just can’t pronounce right (and How Did You Fix It)?"
For me, it’s "thorough." Every time I try to say it, it ends up sounding like "throw" or something completely wrong. It’s tricky, but I’ve started practicing it in sentences to force myself to get it right. Turns out, repeating it in context helps me remember it better and expands my vocabulary too! What’s your word? One that trips you up every time but makes you want to master it? Share it here, maybe we can all learn a few new words along the way!
Do you say if else in real life?

Do people say something is "too shabby" ??
I've only heard people say "not too shabby" so I'm wondering if that's like an idiom by itself, or is something being "too shabby" a thing??
Why do some people say “chat” instead of “y'all/you guys”?
