Which preposition is more common? I saw both “on” and “in” for the “home stretch”.

"Do something" vs. "do anything".
What would be the semantic difference between, say, "Can we do something about climate change?" and "can we do anything about climate change?". I kind of feel it, but I can't fully figure it out.
Judge my accent please

Can you guess my accent?
Is my accent really apparent? I'm aiming for a neutral accent (whatever that would mean). It would be really helpful if you could tell me what parts of my speech give away that I'm not native. And how could those be improved. Thanks
Is Each the Same as Everyone?
I said when hanging out with coworkers"how are each of ya" instead of saying "how is everyone". I thought each is a shorter way to say every So saying how are each of ya Is the same as saying how is everyone Sorry if I didn't write this in correct English
Photo Shoot or Photo Shooting
As far as i understand, a SHOOTING is when guns are involved, and a SHOOT is when cameras do the work. However, one of my students from Miami told me they also use SHOOTING to refer to a photo shoot. Has anyone found this in the wild? Since in Miami english is not the first language of a lot of people, they may have this particular usage

confused about lines in Finding Nemo
1, It's basically in the beginning of the movie, just after Nemo's mother's death, poor mother. I racked my brain, checked different online dictionaries and even asked several AIs but still have no clue about what they're talking about. A fish can breathe out here. Did your man **deliver**, or did he deliver? — My man **delivered**. — It wasn't so easy. 2, It's clear that Dory has a bad memory. Marlin, Nemo's dad, got a bit inpatient with Dory. It seems to have nothing to do with conscience. Is this a joke? Dory: Are... are you my **conscience**? Marlin: Yeah. I'm your **conscience**. We haven't spoken for a while. How are you? https://preview.redd.it/cut2xijepbce1.png?width=2026&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f76ab3fc4467dd8563d837d77921910f29c8322 Really thank you.
