Trouble pronouncing "the other"
I was practicing my pronunciation like usual, but eventually I had to say: "I killed the other Maurice" And I just constantly stutter when trying to say: "the other" quickly. I just don't understand how your tongue is supposed to go from the "TH" formation to the "O" and then to "THR" so quickly without stuttering. Any tips?

Adverb of “wrong”
I was helping my sister with her homework and stumbled upon a definition which stated that the adjective “wrong”, when in its’ adverb form is also “wrong” and not “wrongly”. Is this an exception to the rule (like the word “well”) or is the book wrong? Ps: I know u can use “wrongly” in a sentence, like: she was wrongly accused. But u can also use “wrong” as an adverb in this kind of sentence: don’t get me wrong. So which one of these forms is the correct one? I’m also sending a pic of my sister’s book.

Do I refer to a letter with he or it?
I‘m practicing my English skills with Duolingo and it keeps correcting me, when I refer to „the letter“ with „it“. I thought that things are always gender neutral in English, so why is a a letter supposed to be „he“? Am I wrong and if yes, can someone explain why?
Why isn't there an article in this sentence? : "Mine computer is broken."
Trying to get a solid grasp on English grammar from the rock bottom up, so I'm questioning even the obvious things. Thanks!

Why is a comma used here instead of “and”?
This headline sounds a little off to me. Wouldn’t it sound better if it were “Trump won’t impose tariffs on Canada and other countries right away”? Why was the comma chosen here?
