    "Something I ate disagreed with me" is a personal favorite. "I had/got a stomach bug" simply means your stomach didn't feel very good for a while (normally less than a day). Among native English-speaking friends (this is kind of impolite, but can be funny) you can refer to diarrhea as "the runs" or as "the shits". The more you know...

    If I understand what you are asking (and I'm not sure if I do) no, this is not for real. I think it's related to how that and which indicate restrictive vs. nonrestrictive clauses. Even native speakers mix them up all the time. If that is what you are trying to understand, then check out this site for some help regarding when you use which word. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/which-versus-that.aspx

    I think Wikipedia covers "Westerner" in it's "Western World" article better than I ever could. It basically indicates places that were very much influenced by the Roman Empire and Christian church and those who were colonized by those places. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world

    Unless you are a trained psychologist/psychiatrist, probably very little except recommend them into professional care. Providing them with resources, listening, and giving advice can only do so much.

    Speak. Preferably with native speakers. Also, singing lessons with a native speaker can help with accent and inflection.

    In this context, the word "drawn" simply means "made". "The distinction is made even today" has the same meaning. We use the word "draw" with "distinction" and "conclusion". You can "draw conclusions" and "draw distinctions" and it simply means that you "created", "made", or "came up with" a conclusion or distinction.

    There isn't much difference, though "Hello there" is normally an interjection. It is often used if the speaker is surprised by the person to whom they are speaking. The full phrase is normally "Why, hello there". You might hear someone say "Why, hello there! I didn't see you when I walked in" or something similar.
