Is there is a rule or rules that can help me spell any new word I hear?
I am wondering if there is any rules to help me spell any word I hear correctly?
Is "Loud minorities" offensive?
So I was having English with a native teacher where we were listing out the advantages and disadvantages of social media. Then I wrote "Loud minorities" as both, with the advantage being that the most opressed and silent minorities in real life could have a voice and share their ideas and thoughts more openly on the virtual world, whilst the disavantages was that the most obnoxious scumbags could spread their hatreds to a wider range of people. But for some reason he got mad, pulled me out of class and said I was a "loud minority" myself and got my behaviorial points deducted. Could I be having any misinterpretations of the phrase?
Please anwer
Which one is correct ? I appreciate every answer
Did you know about this before?

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 😂

Dear natives, which show sounds decent to improve speaking? (For non-native speakers)
1) Simpsons 2) Adventure time 3) Family guy 4) Other recommendation from you 5) Friends It would be so much helpful for me if you answer Ps. Does people use ‘i’m on the level’ as ‘i’m being honest’ irl? I learned this phrase from Simpson and dared to use once to my american friend. And he asked me ‘what does that mean?‘. It made me feel embarrassed
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.
