Usage of word "grind"
Hi! Could you please tell me if it is possible to say something like "So many hours spent on grind"? Wouldn't it be better to say "grinding" instead of "grind" here? Thank you for your time!! Here's the example of situation Person A: Hey man, are you ready for the exam? Person B: Hey! Yes, I'm 100% ready. So many hours spent on grind. I'm in my best shape now, I'm ready.
Made Fun of For Using Grammar (Not Joking)
Just today, someone made fun of me for using grammar in-game chat and on Discord. I couldn't really make sense of this since it doesn't make any sense to me. I am not a native speaker of English; English is my second language, but now it is the only language I communicate in. After being made fun of, I tried to make sense of why I "chose" to type with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. And I tried rationalizing it like this: In high school and college, I wrote many essays and always got B+ and A's on those essays. So after many years of writing essays for school, I've gotten more used to typing in proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. This is not exactly an isolated incident since even then, the people I communicated with asked me why I typed in proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Is this just me????????????
Why is it wrong?
I thought it's won't, but it says it's wouldn't and Idk why
When I read a post about "diabetic" light novels, I was confused. Is this a meme or just wrong word usage?
While reading this post:[Whats the most diabetic Light Novel you guys have read?](https://www.reddit.com/r/LightNovels/comments/1j09t80/whats_the_most_diabetic_light_novel_you_guys_have/), I noticed someone using "diabetic" to describe novels. Although he explained "when I say diabetic, I mean something that just makes you go question yourself?", I just don't understand why diabetes would make people think of this. Is this an inappropriate description created by the poster, or is it some kind of meme? Also, are there any proper terms that could replace "diabetic" to express what the poster meant? I asked an AI, but the answer was all over the place. I hope someone can help me with these two questions. Thanks in advance!
Is ChatGPT misleading me here? Which one is actually correct? "One of the passengers took off the plane in an emergency situation" or "One of the passengers took the plane off in an emergency situation" ?

How often do Americans use the stucture adjective + though + noun/pronoun + verb?

To me, this structure seems strange (the first example on the screen) since I haven't seen anyone on the Internet use it. Do Americans use it from time to time?
Is “enormous sound” wrong?

Fiancé" vs "Fiancée: Who's Who?
As a non-native speaker, I always thought "fiancé" was for a guy and "fiancée" for a girl. But now I keep seeing "fiancée" used for both! Is this a new trend or have I been living under a rock? Should I stick to the classic rules, or is it all fair game now?
