Was having a debate with my mom earlier tonight and came here to settle the score
So say you’re going to a movie at 8PM on Friday. And you are going to get home at 12AM, 4 hours later. Which you would call midnight My question is: would you call that “Friday at midnight” or “Saturday at midnight”?
[🇺🇸] As a man, how do you feel when another man calls you "hey man/man/my man"?
Do you like/dislike/hate it, or are you neutral about it and also call them "man"? I live in LA, and that's what I mostly say instead of "dude/bro". Just wondering how do others feel about it. Also, for some reason, I really hate being called "buddy". It always gives me the impression that they surely forgot my name.
I just love how English keeps evolving in the funniest way 😂

Is this actually "old-fashioned" as the Cambridge dictionary says? What would you do if you heard someone using it or read it on the web? Especially British people :)

Does pronouncing “medieval” as /mədˈiːvəl/, with the first "e" as a schwa, sound natural to native speakers?
I heard someone from the US pronounce it that way, although I'm not sure if he's a native speaker.
Can you use "cold" to describe a place?
A friend of mine just came back from a business trip to Maine. She told us about how cold it was in Maine during winter. This is what she said: Of all the places I've been to, none of them were anywhere as cold as Maine. Does this sentence sound natural?
Questions about the word “Both” in negative sentences
I came across this section in my cousin’s English textbook on how to use the word “both” in negative sentences. Here is the example from the textbook: “Both my brothers don't like birds” I thought the sentence meant “Neither of my brothers likes birds” But apparently it means “One of my brothers likes birds, but the other doesn't.” Some sites even suggest that “both” cannot be used in negative sentences, which makes it even more confusing for me. Which is correct?
