A BARBER cuts men's hair. A HAIRDRESSER and A HAIRSTYLIST cut both men's hair and women's hair. Is that correct? And are all of these words commonly used?

S sound vs Z sound
Can native English speakers hear the difference between the S sound and the Z sound at the end of a verb? Especially when they are in a sentence? For example, in a sentence like “she usually drinks coffee during lunch.“ Can you notice the difference between drinkS vs drinkZ, if somebody makes the mistake? I find it so hard to distinguish, I can’t hear the difference (maybe I can if I really pay attention to that part of a sentence) but I’m not a native English speaker.
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.
“I’m singing the wrong pitch.” “I’m singing on the wrong pitch.” Which is correct?

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!
“The internet connection is choppy.” Does this sound natural to mean the connection keeps going on and off? What informal words would people use? Thanks.

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
Is there any quick trick or tips to get the accent??
I know the grammar and I can speak English quite well. All I’m worried about is I can’t just sound like native speaker
