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.

I cannot believe a game company make this mistake.
Yeah, as you see. You won the firth place.
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????????????

What is the most useful english word or expression??
If you guys could teach only three words or expressions, what would they be?
Actor vs actress, when talking about a woman acting
The English-speaking world is getting more and more rid of unnecessarily gendered nouns, something I personally see as a good thing. For example, we talk about fire fighters rather than firemen, and spokesperson instead of spokes(wo)man. And some other examples I can't conjure right now. But I've seen that there is at least one are that is stuck: I often see female actors being generally called actresses rather than just actors. It's not annoying to me, but seeing the other development, it strikes as odd. Why term "actress" is still in use? Why gendering?

Is this just a typo?
What is the meaning of "We want to take let you know..." I just asked to an UK English native speaker and they told me it's a typo. Or is this a formal expression used in the US?

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?
