Thank you.
I worried that may be my way of pronouncing words hurt someone's feelings.

1) "have to" = must... "You have to eat your vegetables to stay healthy." "You have to go to school to learn."
2) "should" = ought to... "These cookies are so good! You should eat some." "You should bring an umbrella. It looks like rain."
3) "had better" = ought to (with a bit more urgency to it) "You had better get home before your parents wake up!"
4) same as 3, but a little more crude
None of these sentences are wicked at all.
