Hi, I'm focusing on learning Spanish right now. I prefer the Mexican accent, as that is most clear to me and is what I am learning, but I'm open to others. Hola, ahora estoy aprendiendo español. Prefiero el acento mexicano porque es más claro para mí y estoy lo aprendiendo, pero estoy bueno con otros.

    I think "go out to dinner" sounds more natural. We usually say "go out to (breakfast/lunch/coffee)" instead of "go out to have..." ex. 1) My friend and I went to dinner yesterday. 2) We got coffee last week. 3) She said she wanted to go out to dinner for her birthday.

    Y'all (you all) is second person plural in American English, similar to Vosotros in Spanish.

    You could also say "you all," "you guys," or "yous" but none of these are very formal. "You all" would be the most formal, but still, "you" is even more formal.

    The government's always watching, haha. And if not, the companies are.

    In the US we have a joke about the FBI man in your laptop camera. People joke about him being helpful or checking up on you. Most people I know tape their cameras, though. But yea, wouldn't be suprised, especially people learning Arabic, Russian, and Chinese.

    What do you call a person who does live streams for a living? A person who live streams is typically called a "live streamer" or just a "streamer," though the later is less common. If they are on Youtube, you can call them a Youtuber. If they're on Twitch, you can call them a Twitch streamer. You can also get specific with what they stream, for example a "Fortnite streamer" or a "CoD streamer."

    I love the commonplace of tattoos and piercings in the States. About half the people I know have tattoos, especially younger folks. It is a form of expression and memorializing moments in your life. Some are ugly, some are stupid, but they are still a form of expression, like hair style and fashion. Its your body: do what you want with it!

    I don't think I've ever seen people hitchhiking. Maybe once or twice, but I would absolutely never pick one up. You don't know who that is, what their intentions are. And vice versa. In my mind, the only people who hitchhike or pick up hitchhikers in the States are desperate or looking to kill. :/

    Building off of Ray, when something "doesn't add up" that means the situation is suspicious and there is a discrepancy. Add is more singular, while add up is totally everything.

    Examples:

    1) Add this purchase to your budget.

    2) Add up all of your purchases to see how much you spent.

    If you want to be more formal/more courteous, you could say "my pleasure."

    My last name is Scottish and means "coming from the far land." No idea why, especially since my clan is not from any extreme location in Scotland.
