    It's an American colloquialism. It means calm down. You'd say it to someone who is overly excited.

    Honestly it depends. English speakers have a huge range of accents, which might be a factor. Also, most of us use a lot of idioms and don't speak in proper English (grammatically speaking). Keep trying and you'll start to catch on.

    "Kinda" is slang for "kind of." It means somewhat or partially. "But they are somewhat in the middle." Sometimes you'll also here "sorta". It means the same thing. Hope this helps!

    Both technically are correct, but more people would use I fell off the bed in common speech. I fell from the bed would usually imply you fell from somewhere onto something else, ie I fell from the bed onto the floor.

    Correction request. Whether the internet is having a negative or positive impact on learning

    I would like to start by saying that this is one of the most controversial topics, which requires a lot of speculations. First of all, people frequently seem to be of two minds when it comes to using the Internet as a way of learning. A great deal of them tend to believe that the Internet does more harm than good. The fact that the Internet provides an immediate access to any information possible reduces our cognitive skills. Having everything at our fingertips, we simply don't have to take pains to look for necessary information. This means that our perception of what is truly important becomes distorted and our ability to sort information out becomes blunt.
      Another thing the Internet is often pilloried for along the lines of learning is available homework assignments, book summaries and plagiarism. Gone are the days when students would sit in libraries, almost hidden behind piles of textbooks, slaving over them. Nowadays it is sufficient to click, copy and paste without giving much thought.
      As for me, I may only sympathize with teachers who have to be on constant alert for any sort of plagiarism, watching the students like hawks lest they cheat. Yet, I don't share the common belief that the Internet is the root of all evil. As I see it, the fact that information is served up on a plate doesn't diminish the efforts we have to make to filter it. Often we have to rack our brains even more to avoid getting lost in a twisted maze of all sorts of data.
        In conclusion, I can't help pointing out that the difficulty of dealing with information is in direct proportion to its growth. And for the time being it is one of the most qualitative skills, appreciated by employers.
