'He has some HEALTH PROBLEMS.' vs 'He has some PROBLEMS WITH HEALTH.' - are both used or is the former more natural?
Hello everyone, Is there a rule on how the word 'problem' is used? From what I've noticed a noun is often used **before** the word 'problem' as in 'a homelessness problem', or 'a drug problem'. Is that usually the case? Thank you so much!
I did my homeworks. Is my accent still incomprehensible?
Hi folks, I posted [a few months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/EnglishLearning/comments/1gi31go/is_my_accent_truly_incomprehensible/) to share a video I made on which I had received a few comments stating that my accent was 'incomprehensible' and that they would rather 'listen to AI voices' than mine. Many people replied to my post with good advices and here I am two months later, asking you to assess if I have progressed. I mainly focused on pronounciation : once my script is written, I go through it to highlight which part should be stressed and focus on that when recording. Also I tried to slow down a lot. Here's my last video to listen to (btw it deals with Star Wars): [https://youtu.be/T9mReOpd\_3A?si=OzHWbL66NuvjiiSi](https://youtu.be/T9mReOpd_3A?si=OzHWbL66NuvjiiSi) Cheers
I've watched an interview of John Textor and really enjoyed his accent. I find it clear and easily understandable. Is it the typical Midland accent ?

Is this an instance of complement fronting?
>We define the bitwise OR, bitwise AND, and bitwise XOR of two strings of the same length to be the strings that have **as their bits** the OR, AND, and XOR of the corresponding bits in the two strings, respectively. —— *Discrete Mathematics and Its Application* Hi, I am trying to understand the function of "as their bits" in the sentence above. Is it an instance of complement fronting? If so, can that attributive clause be rewritten as "that have the OR, AND, and XOR of the corresponding bits in the two strings as their bits"? I have struggled for hours to find an appropriate grammatical explanation in various books, but none of them discuss this type of complement fronting :( Thanks in advance!

Does this sound natural?
"Do you have membership with us?" Does this sound nautral? I'm asking a customer.
Do I have a strong accent?
