Is there a word for someone who brings you a lot of profit?
Like for example, you're a producer and one of your singers is extremely popular and having him brings you a ton of money so you don't want to ever let him go, he's your what? In my language, he's your "chicken that lays golden eggs", but that doesn't seem to be a thing in english. (i'm not looking for obvious words like "moneymaker", i need more funny or sarcastic way of saying it)
Does “assume” really sound like “a soon”, with the “n” sound? 😂

Does this name sound weird to you?
Hey guys, im not a native but need to have an english name because im gonna work for multinational corp. Normally, they would take some common names like "cherry, philip, mike,..." but to me these are pretty boring and i wanna a cooler, less familiar name. Im thinking of "Maybe". This name sounds cool to me but im worrying natives might be confusing So how weird sound weird to you. In real life i have seen some other strange names such as "Drinkwater, Booty,..."

Why is there no "an" in front of "English Writer" here?

Can I pronounce 'little' as in 'written'?
I was watching seinfeld and i noticed 'hot n heavy' pronounced in the same way. So I'm guessing 'hot and heavy'(with a flap t) becomes hot n heavy(t to n like in written) when it's said faster?
Lyrics - Should we own this mistake? How bad is it?
Hi everyone. I have a band and none of us are native speakers. We recorded this song which we really like and just 1 week ahead of its release we realised we've made a english mistake. We mixed two phrases "Going to end" and "coming to an end" and the result was: "It seems like this is going to an end Going to and end Going to and end" Again, for us, no native English speakers it sounded correct but of course we failed since we did not double check. Lesson learned! Unfortunately we can not re-record this part or the song with the singer anymore for multiple reasons. We need to release it as it is. The only thing I could do is to write "coming to an end" in the lyrics regardless what he says in the record. But I don't think this will convince people (the part is scream vocals tho so it could work...) But tell me. How bad is it for a native speaker? Thank you!!
Can anyone explain to me how the title of my post is confusing? Thanks in advance

Does anyone say “can I swap seats with you/ can we swap seats?” instead of “can I switch seats with you?” in contexts of trains or planes?
