Usage of word "grind"
Hi! Could you please tell me if it is possible to say something like "So many hours spent on grind"? Wouldn't it be better to say "grinding" instead of "grind" here? Thank you for your time!! Here's the example of situation Person A: Hey man, are you ready for the exam? Person B: Hey! Yes, I'm 100% ready. So many hours spent on grind. I'm in my best shape now, I'm ready.
I cannot believe a game company make this mistake.
Yeah, as you see. You won the firth place.
Made Fun of For Using Grammar (Not Joking)
Just today, someone made fun of me for using grammar in-game chat and on Discord. I couldn't really make sense of this since it doesn't make any sense to me. I am not a native speaker of English; English is my second language, but now it is the only language I communicate in. After being made fun of, I tried to make sense of why I "chose" to type with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. And I tried rationalizing it like this: In high school and college, I wrote many essays and always got B+ and A's on those essays. So after many years of writing essays for school, I've gotten more used to typing in proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. This is not exactly an isolated incident since even then, the people I communicated with asked me why I typed in proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Is this just me????????????
Why is it ‘the car ride’ not ‘a car ride’
This might be a dumb question but article usage really confuses me😠would it be grammatically wrong if it said ‘a car ride’ instead of ‘the car ride’?
Wrote some fun facts about my country. Can you see if it sounds natural?
Under the South Korean Constitution, North Koreans are considered South Korean citizens. So anyone who escapes from North Korea is automatically given South Korean citizenship. Because they are considered South Korean, they don't have to go through processes that foreigners must go through, such as refugee screening or naturalization process. Even if someone is found to be a spy from North Korea, they are severely punished under South Korean laws, but their nationality is not revoked, nor are they deported. Does this sound natural?
When do you use "swab" and when "mop"?
Most of the times you would use "swab" for a dna testing and that sort of shit, but anyhow it does have this additional "mop" meaning, and that's kinda confusing. When do I use it, and is there a difference between a mop and a swab?
I don't learning grammar

Is it problem for the future ?
A question about pronoun "it" in this sentence
My teacher told me that the pronoun "it" refers to animals or objects only, but in this sentence, "it" refers to "someone" and someone is a person. Does that statement always hold true? By the way, if I am not sure about the gender of the subject, which pronoun should I use?
Can I say "no temper" to someone who's throwing tantrum?
Is the meaning same as "calm down"?
