How to describe changing water flow in shower?
Do you say "turn (the tap) to stronger/weaker water"? In my native language, we would say "turn / open / adjust to bigger / smaller water".
Is the word āchatteringā somewhat offensive?
English is not my first language, but Iām very much willing to learn. So I watched this youtube short, and I completely missed the joke. Why was everyone baffled by him saying āare you ladies done chattering?ā Is it because of the word āchatteringā? I thought itās a normal looking, non-offensive word. Or maybe the moment when he said the word that made it offensive/irritating? One of the comment even pointed out that using the word āchatteringā instead of āchattingā made it infinitely funnier. I donāt get it, please help!

Is it rude to say āmy memory is not even good,haha.ā as a reply to an older person?
One day, I checked my work email and got an email from a sales representative who works with our company and I met her before (we have a relationship only as professional) She said sorry for such a late reply to my email I sent weeks ago and said that she is getting old and her memory is failing her. So, I wanted to say something nicer and donāt worry about the late reply, but from the lack of my English and as a joke, I ended up saying ā no problem at all, thank you for the follow-up. My memory is not even good, haha.ā And then, I didnāt get a reply back from her. Itās been 2days and Iām starting to feel anxious if I made her feel bad by saying that. Please let me know your thoughts and how else I couldāve responded to her and Iād like to understand if it was inappropriate to say.
