Toilet business.
Why the fuck i always see how americans always use a word "a bathroom" to point the toilet, a room where you releasing your needfuls? Like why can't you use a word "restroom" instead of "bathroom"? Honestly, i saw only ONCE when a guy use word a right word restroom instead instead of A BATHROOM. Do you guys even attempted to understand what this word mean, like what the fuck you bathing while being there and what you use to bath it? "A restroom" is like associated with finally freeing up the space, but a bathroom is sound so cringy. A bathroom is a place where you bathing in shower, not where you pissing and shitting.
Will learning an European language help me learn English?
Hello. I'm a student learning English. Recently, I got curious about if learning any European language as my 3rd one might help me memorize advanced English vocabularies, and maybe gain useful insight to the grammer, word use, culture, etc. Of English since it has roots in European languages. I heard most English words are from French, German, or Latin words(and I think I'm pretty interested in Spanish, Italian, and French.) So, I googled what European language will be the most beneficial to learning English. But most results were just explaining general facts about the relationships between English and European languages. So if there's an English or European native here, I'd like to ask if learning an European language would likely help me improve my English. If so, I'd like to additionally ask what language would be the most beneficial for that. Thank you for reading this. Hope you have a good day!

Rolled vs Rode -- is the "l" in "rolled" noticeable for you?
Today I misheard "rolled" for "rode" -- I know it's supposed to be /roʊld/ vs /roʊd/, but I don't hear the /l/ in "rolled" all that much. Is it just me? Thanks!
I know I'm learning English well when I understand the jokes. But this time I couldn't understand.

Any special words for those who's bad at working with their hands
Hi! Is there a special word or phrase for a person who is bad at working with hands or performing practcal jobs (e.g. mending things, cleaning, cooking, etc.). In my language we've got a special phrase which literally means 'one's hands grow from their ass' and a word which is a contamination of 'hands' and 'ass'. It's informal and might be offensive. Is there anything similar in English? Thanks
