To what degree is the following question acceptable (grammar-wise)? - With whom does he usually have lunch? I know that perfectly correct grammar would be "Who does he usually have lunch with?" Is it the only possible way to ask this question or is the version above also OK?

Ordering food / drinks I have a question about the following phrase that can be used when ordering food: "I'll have a salad, no dressing". The question is about the use of "no" =) Is it equally common to say "I'll have a salad without dressing"? Is there any difference? Also, is it a universal thing for ordering something without a certain ingredient, like "I'll have a coffee, no milk"? Thanks!

Admission fee If I wanted to find out the admission fee at some place, what would be the correct question: - What is the admission fee? OR - How much is the admission fee? Or are both these options OK?

What does he say? I'd really appreciate it if someone could write down a sentence from this video for me =) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yog4fA8RzM0 What does Simon say at 4:18, after Amanda asks "Simon, yes or no?" Can't make out a word of his answer. I understand everything in this video except for this little part, rewatched these 3 seconds for a million times already, it's driving me nuts! Please, help =)

Soft spot Hi there! I have a question about the phrase "soft spot" - is it used only when you talk about people (as in "She's always had a soft spot for her younger brother") or can I use it with inanimate objects as well (as a synonym to "weakness")? I mean, are the sentences "I have a weakness for chocolate" and "I have a soft spot for chocolate" both correct or is only the first one possible? Thanks in advance.

"Need" in continuous form In most grammar reference books it is indicated that "need" is not used in the present continuous form. In one pop song I heard a line "Can't you give me what I'm needing, needing". Is it just an incorrect use of this verb for artistic purposes (to rhyme it with the word "bleeding" in the previous line =)) or does the continuous form of this verb actually exist in modern English? If so, what's the difference between "I need" and "I'm needing"?
