What's the difference between these two sentences?

Google says "feh-ree" and ChatGPT says "fair-ee". How do you pronounce it or is there no difference?

Sometimes these emojis are formatted differently.

Can I use "come out" or "turn out" in this context?

For example,

She would always bring the water brewed in cinnamon and the orange and all the citruses in her big mug.

I'm watching a vlog and the person in it said this. I was wondering how the articles work here? How come "cinnamon and the orange" not "the cinnamon and the orange" or "cinnamon and orange"?

I thought you weren't coming in today.

Can someone explain the difference? Thank you for any help in advance!

I'm trying to find something practical that would look good on my resume. What kind of project would give me useful, hands-on experience with deep learning? I'd prefer something that uses real-world data if possible.

Once I see a flaw in someone, it's hard for me to get rid of it in my mind.

Does this sound natural? What would be the most natural way to say this?

Set up a user flair if you don't have one yet. It is incredibly helpful for English learners. 😚

Click the three dots in the top right corner of the EnglishLearning page, and you'll see "Change user flair."

I don't think we can ever get around not enacting some racialized trauma. I think if we do get around an enactment it's because we're not there for them.

Can someone explain what "enact" (or "enactment") mean here? It's kind of taken out of context but I don't even quite understand the whole context either here.

I should have asked everything in one post haha but when you say "already" is the "l" sound pronounced?

Do you pronounce the "t" sound in this word?

When I hear some say this word, it almost feels like the d sound isn't being pronounced.

If I know what I’m going to say can come across as even remotely offensive, I don’t say it.

Does this sound natural? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

Title says it all but I'm watching a British TV show and just came across an expression called "food for thought." Is it also commonly used in the US?

Forgiveness can only happen when an apology comes first.

Does this sound natural? Is there a more natural way to say this?

Can someone explain the difference between these two? I would appreciate it if you could me some example as well!

I think he used the Bible over her. She just couldn't see up from down.

What does "up from down" mean?

it's fairly technical how it needs to be completed because the form does serve multiple purposes.

What does technical mean? I usually know what technical means but in this context I'm not sure. Can some explain?

This is a genuine question, but I'm having a hard time understanding how this term is used. I know this term refers to someone who has many sexual partners, but I've noticed that it can also just be used jokingly without necessarily meaning that the person actually fits the definition. I was watching a vlog where someone called her sister a hoe and in a different situation she would just say to the camera, “Your mom's a hoe.” I've also heard it in some songs, but I'm not quite sure whether they actually mean someone who fits the definition or if they're just saying it jokingly.

Edit: I'm asking this because I want to understand what the term means and how it's used. I'm definitely not planning to use it, and I don't even curse much in my own language. I just want to understand how it's used so that when I see someone using the term, I can tell whether they're being rude or just making a joke.

I was born and raised in Korea and moved to the US last year for school (NYC specifically) Since I'm new to the country, I thought I'd benefit from hanging out with Koreans who grew up here because they know both cultures and I thought that could help me adapt to the new environment. Problem is every time I meet a Korean American I feel like there's some kind of wall between us and I feel like they can sense it too. I've been okay with Korean American men but I usually feel this way with women. (I'm trying make female friends)

I have thought about why I feel this wall but I reallt can't pinpoint what it is. Has anyone else ever felt this way? What has your experience been like making friends with Koreans from Korea.
