What does rah mean??
context: basically i said “thank god for that” then “never mind”(in a text message), since the guy im talking to is an atheist. later on another guy (not the atheist) said “rah”. im assuming this is something people say nowadays? if you know what that means please do tell me, and thank you.

“We are all but defenceless”
So, I was watching Thor Dark World (again) and this came to mind. At some point in the movie one of the characters turns to Odin and says something like “we can’t see them, they could be here right now! We are all but defenceless” I would understand this as: we are highly fortified, we have all resources we need. We are all, but defenceless. I do understand from the context that the intended meaning is “we are completely defenceless” What I don’t understand is why. I would not be able to build another sentence with the same structure
How do I use "Whose" & "Whom"?
Hi! I'm a native Spanish speaker who wants to learn English, and I've been confused by these words. I want to learn how to use them and understand how natural and common they are. From what I've heard, they are words that are rarely used, but they are part of WH questions (what, where, why, etc.). So, I would like to read some examples and a brief explanation about them. Thank you very much!

Saying “Duh, Dis, or Dat” and not “The, this, or that”
Hello, newbie here. English is my second language and I have been speaking english nearly my whole life but anyway lately I have been struggling a lot with my Th- words like “This or that”. In the middle of conversations instead of pronouncing it properly my brain would automatically shifts to saying “Dis or Dat”. Whenever I do try to correct myself in between I would start sounding gibberish as if I’m struggling to speak english. When I’m reading I do just fine so I only have this issue when I’m speaking to people. Sometimes I would try to use only “Duh,dis, dat” and avoid correcting my mistakes in between but I really don’t like it because it makes me sound less articulate. I wanted to see if any of you has had similar issues and how did you overcome it and also how long did it take you to overcome this ?
