Why is “have to” attached?
Why is “have to” attached? What is the difference in meaning between "what other people have to say" and "what other people say?"
Can the word "rent" be used as a verb?
I don't think I've ever seen "rent" used as a verb before. Would it sound natural if I say "Do you own a house or are you renting?"
what does ‘the fuck out of me’ mean?

“It was quarter of eight.” - said David Foster Wallace. Does that mean 8:15 or 7:15?

12.00am means midnight?
I've seen this several times and it's starting to piss me off. I'm from Spain and we don't generally use am/pm, but when we do, we refer to midnight as 00.00 and midday as 12.00, and both count as "am". The "pm" starts at 13.00, when we start counting from 1 again (1pm). I just saw a train ticket that said 12.01am - 2.15am and was confused for a second. 12am to me is midday!! Because pm begins at 13!! Does this happen in every English-speaking country?
I request you people to please dissect what the underlined sentence mean word-for-word.
The sentence sounds somewhat ungrammatical to me. It's a screenshot from some periodical discussing why Trump purposefully chose different date than 1st April for imposing reciprocal tariffs on other countries. I understand that *that's what that's not* means his serious enforcement of tariffs shouldn't lose an effect due to it sharing the day with April Fool's Day. Furthermore, is it correct to put *was* in the underlined sentence to indicate a day that will come in future. Will the natives please shed some light why the underlined sentence is correct? Also, the following is a doubt that only political news buff can help solve. How would've the US lost money just by rolling out the tariffs on the April Fool's Day which the unclear marked part suggests if I'm not wrong? Thanks as always!
