    I've never met anyone under the age of 60 who's "disgusted" by the use of those words in writing. That being said, there's definitely a time and a place for them. When I correct students' business emails, I always encourage them to use friendly but formal writing. But if you're writing a tweet or pretty much anything on the internet, it's completely acceptable to write them.

    I don't see any problem with using the word "occupied", but I think "taken" or "filled up" would be more natural.

    To be treated is to have someone act a certain way towards you. "Dan treats me differently." = "Dan acts in a different way toward me."

    "To carry out" means to finish an assigned task, often in the context of business or politics "To be carried out" is the passive voice form of "to carry out". For example: Active voice - "Steve will carry out the new policy." Passive voice - "The new policy will be carried out by Steve."

    a little rant

    Hello everyone, I am here because I really want to improve my English, and, who knows, get fluency become fluent. I made five years of English course, I took five years of English courses and I am like a beginner/intermediate English student., and It gets makes me really sad, because I really like the language, and I understand a lot of things, but every single day I study English but even so I don't have and don't see any progress. And I know at least I am trying. But I am almost giving up, because it seems like my mind refuses rejects the language kkkk hahaha., Now with this site I think that the things will go better. Thanks.



    --------------------------

    Lara, your written English looks pretty good to me. Try listening and reading English in more natural settings, like Youtube videos or blogs. That way you can learn idioms (like "take courses" instead of the literally translated "make courses"). Also, you have a tendency to write long run-on sentences. Try to avoid this. They're confusing to read.

    Also, I understand the problem of trying to improve after having studied for a long time. Maybe think about switching up your study methods? So if you study a lot by reading news articles, practice more by speaking to people. Always try to search out new ways to learn a language so you can learn new vocabulary and new ways of expressing yourself.

    Hope you enjoy this website! :)

    Yes, that use of "basically" is correct. I don't quite understand what you mean by "have something to someone". Can you give me an example?

    First of all, "slang" is uncountable. We don't say "slangs" to refer to multiple words that are slang. It's always "slang". The only time you would say "slangs" is to refer to different slang systems. For example, "America and Britain have very different slangs."

    Most of these are commonly used. "Fudge packer" is really juvenile and not often used (at least not here in the States). "Pull a bird", "Japs eye", "minge", "clunge", "gander", and "bloody hell" are used in the UK, but not in the States. Also, keep in mind that "Jap" is usually considered EXTREMELY offensive (at least here in the States), since it's a racial slur and we're real sensitive about that stuff.

    Also some of these aren't slang, such as "all night" and "hangover".
