Wrote some fun facts about my country. Can you see if it sounds natural?
Under the South Korean Constitution, North Koreans are considered South Korean citizens. So anyone who escapes from North Korea is automatically given South Korean citizenship. Because they are considered South Korean, they don't have to go through processes that foreigners must go through, such as refugee screening or naturalization process. Even if someone is found to be a spy from North Korea, they are severely punished under South Korean laws, but their nationality is not revoked, nor are they deported. Does this sound natural?
What purpose does āthe best partā here serve?
I could think of one explanation: To be sarcastic, and to emphasize on the long hours of losing a child, which is not the best but the worst. Can someone explain this to me? A few more made-up sentences using the same expression would be extremely appreciated. And for those of you who recognized the names but not the plot, this is a Harry Potter fanfic š
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?

FiancƩ" vs "FiancƩe: Who's Who?
As a non-native speaker, I always thought "fiancƩ" was for a guy and "fiancƩe" for a girl. But now I keep seeing "fiancƩe" 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?
