"Parents paid for my college" meaning
If someone tells you that their parents paid for their college degree, do you assume that their parents paid money out of savings/cashflowed the tuition, or that their parents took out thousands in debt for their child under their name, so they pay off the student loans for years later instead of their child? Which one is more likely, since no one seems to clarify which one.
Pronouncing "uncomfortable" at normal speed in a sentence
I sometimes sound like I'm saying "unconfterble" or "uncomterble", rather than the one we hear all the time. I've always wondered why it's not pronounced as "un com for ta ble."
Is it correct?
Is it correct to say "The recipe serves 2-4 slices"? I mostly see "the recipe serves 1/2/3 people"

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
