What is "Doing something you don't want to do, but you do it to satisfy other people " Called?
I've been wondering this
How is it called when someone takes your turn?

How do you call the person who is ignorant/unskilled in his work?
Hello, everyone! We have an amazing word in Russian "рукожоп", it literally can be translated as "someone with his arms growing out of the ass". This is a completely unskilled, clumsy and ignorant peson, doing his work with terrible results, and he goes "I did it for the whole my life" or "It will be fine anyway". I discovered the word "cack-handed" but don't sure if it outdated. How do you call this peson?
what english words always mess you up?
English has some words that are really confusing. For me, it’s "borrow" and "lend." I always said "Can you borrow me a pen?" and didn’t realize it was wrong until someone corrected me. Another one is "fun" and "funny." I used to say something was funny when I just meant it was fun. It still gets me sometimes. What about you? Are there any words in English that confuse you no matter how much you practice? I’m curious if we share the same struggles
