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.
The word "assesses" is an abomination. Example: An assesor is a person who assesses.
Edit: I'm natively fluent and don't need help. Just thought i'd showcase the word because it's just a bunch of S's and E's except for the A
What is the difference between these two sentences?

is it valid to say "mind _to do something_"?
This sentence came out of my mouth once and I haven't really thought about it. Does this sound natural in an informal, a bit hostile, conversation: "mind climbing from the bottom?", meaning: "do you want to rise from the bottom?". I couldn't find any close examples, only remember similar: "mind your own business". So I'm asking for opinions here, does it sound lame or not insulting because I said it wrong?
I wish + would arrive or arrived?
So, my gut feeling says it should say: I wish it ARRIVED on time, but am I wrong? Is it really WOULD ARRIVE? Another example: I wish the government WOULD LOWER taxes, or... LOWERED taxes. Thanks in advance for your help

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 ?
