Rolled vs Rode -- is the "l" in "rolled" noticeable for you?
Today I misheard "rolled" for "rode" -- I know it's supposed to be /roʊld/ vs /roʊd/, but I don't hear the /l/ in "rolled" all that much. Is it just me? Thanks!
Looking for a learning partner
I want to practice my English speaking skills with someone but I don't have anyone near me with whom I can practice. Also I'm a little hesitant as I have never spoke to anyone in English. So if anyone wants to practice HEY we can do that, dms are open

is the word “Traipsing” commonly used？
learned this word from a TV show, but it was from an old witch's line, so I'm not sure if it sounds strange or outdated in real life Thanks in advance！（btw is it natural to say 'thanks in advance' in this situation？）

Not exactly a language related question. But when talking about salary, do you think of $ per month/year or $ per hour as this meme probably implies?

don't be so ass about shit
What could "don't be so ass about shit" mean? I've heard this phrase few times and don't understand the meaning. My only guess is that means "don't be a nerd"
Any special words for those who's bad at working with their hands
Hi! Is there a special word or phrase for a person who is bad at working with hands or performing practcal jobs (e.g. mending things, cleaning, cooking, etc.). In my language we've got a special phrase which literally means 'one's hands grow from their ass' and a word which is a contamination of 'hands' and 'ass'. It's informal and might be offensive. Is there anything similar in English? Thanks
