Mashed potatoes - countable or uncountable
Hi. How do I treat mashed potatoes? In the end they are turned into one substance, similar to dough. For instance, mashed potatoes were salty or was salty. On the internet I found somebody saying both options would be fine.
Does "straight shooter" make sense in this context? about to get it tattooed on my wrist
I'm not sure where I've heard this definition, but the way I thought of it is that a straight shooter is someone who's highly motivated to accomplish something. the idea behind it is someone wanting something so badly and being about to pull the trigger. I'm someone who's highly obsessed with self-improvement and I'd love to get it tattooed on me. before I make any mistakes, is this interpretation correct?
Does this sound natural to you?
Can't you stop yourself from being so inconsiderate?

“Open/close the visor.” “Pull down/fold back the visor”. Which one is correct? How do people usually say it? Thanks.

What does “cooked” mean?
Hello everyone! Lately I often hear this word and I don’t know what does it mean. For example I watched caseoh and he said “we are cooked him” and I don’t know what does it mean. English isn’t my first language so can you explain the meaning of this phrase and word?
5 Things I learned about English from 2 weeks on Reddit
Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been using Reddit for the past two weeks to improve my English, and here’s what I’ve discovered: 1. Context Beats Grammar Rules✍️ Native speakers don’t always stick to perfect grammar - what matters is how natural it sounds. 2. Slang Is Everywhere 🗣️ Phrases like “spill the tea” ☕ or “hot take” 🔥 seemed confusing at first, but context helped me figure them out. 3. Tone Changes Everything 🤔😅 The same sentence can feel friendly or sarcastic depending on punctuation, emojis, or subreddit vibe. 4. Mistakes Are Okay ✅ Even when my grammar wasn’t perfect, people were kind and focused on understanding me. 5. It’s Like Language Immersion🌍 Reddit exposes you to real, everyday English that’s impossible to learn from a textbook. Anyone else using Reddit to practice English? Share your experience! 😊

Couldn't agree more! 😂
