Do these words exist?
"It's *halfway* done." Halfway is an adverb that means that something is 50% complete—only half of the total work or progress needed has been finished. Does English have any other adverbs that indicate the amount of progress made? For example: "It's \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ done" What can I put in the blank space to mean "It's 25% / 5% / 99% done" (besides the percentage itself as I'm guessing it's grammatical to do that..?)
There is THIRty, then there is THIRteen. So if there is TWENty, why is 12 twelve instead of "twenteen?"
Who chose 12 to be twelve instead of "twenteen" and how come?
How do I speak out adresses in American English?
Hi all, Now that i'm almost ready to move to the USA there's one thing bothering me, and that's how people mention adresses. I've only been learned to say; [Street name] - [house number] - [zip code] - [city name] - [state/province] - [country] in that order. However, when talking to friends of co-workers they often say something like "I'm at 27th at Diedra in Tacoma" even though both of these are street names bordering eachother and the city name(North 27th street, Diedra Circle and the city of Tacoma) What is the logic behind this and how do I apply it in conversations? For instance, if I theoretically live at 1920 N Tyler St, which is bordering N 21st St, how would you say that to someone?

How would you describe this picture?
In my language I'd say "a rug of clouds" but in English it doesn't sounds right, let alone poetic (I think)... Is there an equivalent in English? How would you describe it?
What's a person that orders something grand called? Like a customer or client but BIGGER
So, I know there's customers. But I'm looking for a word describing an... uhm, entity, that wants something hard or challenging or niche to be done. Say, I work at a design agency and my ORDERER (???) wants to build an apartment complex. So my job is to discuss with them what the apartment complex will look like, and so on. Or I am self employed and work as a photographer and somebody orders twenty pictures to be edited from me, what would that person be called? Or, for example, I own a yogurt factory and I have an order for twenty thousand yogurt bottles to be shipped somewhere in France by the end of the month. What is the entity that orders something called? It could be a company itself, or a just a person, or some employee at a company. The orderer? Just the customer? The client? Thank you all for your help! Much appreciated!
Is this just a typo?
What is the meaning of "We want to take let you know..." I just asked to an UK English native speaker and they told me it's a typo. Or is this a formal expression used in the US?
