size of animal shit

size of animal shit

In English, we often compare something to animal shit to insult it, but is there a grammatical distinction between dog shit, horse shit, and bull shit etc.? Can we create new abusive expressions based on those ? for example, rabbit poop or elephant poop?

Pronouncing au.

I see the word aura a lot, but it seems to be pronounced very differently from case to case. I hear "oh-rah» often, but to me the "au" would sound more like "ow", though not as harsh. I know in English it is more of an "o" as I hear names like Aurora pronounced "oror-ah", or Australia as "oss-tralia". Are there any instances of an au in English pronounced like ow? I'm curious!

Never use 'to' after (Request/Recommend/Insist/Suggest/Dare/Demand)?

I am starting to notice a trend where native speakers avoid using 'verb+someone+to'' structure after certain verbs. Specifically, I hear 'I suggest (that) you do it' instead of 'I suggest you to do it'. 'I recommended (that) he go' instead of 'I recommended him to go'. 'I demand (that) he leave' instead of 'I demand him to leave'. 'How dare he speak to me like that' 'I request (that) you disappear' instead of 'I request you to disappear'. So always use 'that + he/she/they/it + base form of verb' after these verbs? Am I on the right track?

Do natives sometimes pronounce TH as D?

Hello guys! So, sometimes it really sounds like natives pronounce TH as D, in words such as "the" and "that", especially when they're in the middle of a sentence and the speaker is talking really fast. Is it true or are my ears just not accustomed to the TH sound, so it naturally sounds like a D to me?

Which one sound sounds more natural in speaking?

"I’ve left my laptop for repair, so I can’t do anything right now." "My laptop is being repaired, so I can’t do anything right now." If there is a more natural way to say this, let me know!
