    I've never heard it used like this, but I got this definition from Webster's dictionary. It is an interjection. chiefly dialect —used for emphasis or expressing surprise http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/la

    Not exactly. As it is written they mean the same thing. We only use ride to mean operate on certain vehicles. This would be like jet-skis and motorcycles. If you replace forklift with motorcycle then what you said is correct. This doesn't have a concrete meaning though. You could say "He rode on the motorcycle." to mean he is operating, but it usually means that he was a passenger i.e. he wasn't in control.

    A typical factory worker here must work 20 to 30 hours to afford one month's rent. Very small and very cheap places here only require about 10 hours of pay. The monthly payment when buying a house outside my city is about 40 hours a work. For this price you would get 4 hectares of land and 185 square meters of floor space. Inside a city it is similar only with about .2 hectares of land. Where I live is very cheap for America. At 21 years of age, I already paid completely for over 100 square meters on 1.2 hectares of land from working alone.

    It's British. It means "you're all set" or "you're good to go".

    Address can mean to put a mailing address on something. Address means to find a solution (even if only temporary) to a problem. Cope with means to bear the physical and mental stresses involved. Deal with can also be used to mean that. It can also mean to address. Handle is the same as deal with when talking about a problem. Handle can also mean to operate or control. For instance, you can handle a horse or car.

    None are incorrect. Work time sounds the best in many contexts. In this instance, use period of work.

    My advice is never to use it. At the risk of offending someone, it is really only used by black people. It is based off the word holler. This means to call or yell. You can use holler but holla would sound rediculous coming from you. Holler isn't used exactly like holla. It is used more like yell.

    They become plural like everything else. Smith becomes Smiths. Jefferson becomes Jeffersons. Sanchezes sounds normal to me.

    "Did you finish that report." "No, but I'll get around to it." "Have you gotten around to doing your homework?" "I've never managed to get around to fixing that."

    A lot of them involve cultur or expected norms. A foreigner often gets confused with the language and never learns the joke. A good example is this joke: "Three guys wqlk into a bar. The fourth guy ducks." This probably doesn't make sense to you. In all honesty it took me a while to understand it. The reason it is funny is this, many jokes in America start with people walking into a bar (or pub but Americans never use that word). People begin to think you're talking about a drinking establishment. The next words usually confuse people. What actually happened was that 3 people walked into a low hanging piece of metal which can be called a bar. The fourth guy saw it and ducked underneath. The joke here is the expectation is twisted and people become confused. People learning our language couldn't understand that.
