Is that sentence correct?
I think it should be "What do you think is the best item?" Am I wrong?
Why zodiac sign “cancer” uses same word as disease?
Why it doesn’t names crayfish or crab? It just strange to associate your zodiac sign with this terrible disease. In my language we use same word for crayfish and cancer disease, but I’m always associated the sign with 🦞 cuz it more logical and even description of sign tells about sea animal. As I know in English the word “cancer” uses only for disease and zodiac sign while crayfish is another word, so it’s strange for me.
Why is the answer A?
I understand why the answer can absolutely never be C, but it being A doesn't sit right with me.
I need a friends to practice English
Hi everyone, Hope you're all doing great! I'm currently learning English and looking for a speaking partner to practice with regularly. I'm a beginner, so I prefer simple and friendly conversations to help build my confidence and improve fluency. If you're also learning or open to practicing together, feel free to comment or DM me. Let’s help each other grow. Thanks! 😊
Can you tell me the essence of a word "tomboy"?
I understand (at least I think so) how "ship" works in words friendship, partnership etc. But I cannot get the role of "tom" in tomboy (surprisingly, it's quite old word, XVI century). I learnt that "tom" means male spieces of some animals. Why suddenly tomboy means a girl who acts like a boy but not a manly man? At the same time there is a word "tomfool" which means a stupid male.

I was on the impression that 'hundred' was pronounced like 'hunjred' but in the video it was extremely fast and it sounded like a 'hunned'. I searched it up and Rachel(From Rachel's English) said that it's pronounced 'hunderd'. I'm confused The video- https://youtu.be/ZobkPbmslLE?si=AlJWGouNDLuPhw0C
"It was Jane whom I admire the most" why is it "admire" instead of "admired"?
This is a sentence in my English textbook and I don't know why it is written like that. Thank you in advance!
Is English a flexible and tolerant language?
1) Do you think English is a flexible, "tolerant" language when it comes to its usage? For example, I also speak French and I find it too strict, it's hard to make zero mistakes in French. Is English more accommodating? 2) And a question for native English speakers: do you think the level of English of non-native redditors is good?
