Words & Wordplay

"This is a color that is the closest to that of my dad's eyes." Sounds better in American English  But your way is correct also.

I asked my friend about if they wanted to meet up one time in the next few weeks.  They got back and said 'Yeah that sounds great! - unfortunately I am quite busy until the end of the month - would that work for you?'  What does 'unfortunately' mean here? Is this something you would say to someone you care about/a friend?

I use it all the time.  It’s mildly vulgar and would be very rude in a setting where manners mattered.  It’s not a word that gets censored.  It would maybe get a child scolded for using it or receive a dirty look from some uptight ladies in a grocery store. I call my friends “douchebags” as a term of endearment. Over the pond, it would on the rudeness scale of “wanker.”

a female?

Context: This bot here is going to take off all the tedious tasks that you deal with in your everyday routine off your shoulders just like that.

Gay used to mean that someone was really happy or something being bright and colorful.  Any ideas on when the word "gay" changed to mean "homosexual?"  

I  was just  wondering  where did that phrase came from or originated from? I always here people use it 

Me (f19) and my friend (m20) went to this park late at night and we were sitting on a rock talking. All of a sudden we noticed that these two trees lined up their branches to make a perfect infinity sign. But you had to be sitting exactly where we were to see it. Could this mean something?

What does the word mean to you?  You could say that it is the belief that white people are superior to other races, or that it is prejudice + power.  There seems to be a lot of confusion about the term especially on the right.  

It depends.  Did he hear the words but just get confused because of all the extra input (did not understand despite hearing the words because his brain was working on too many things at once) or did he simply find it impossible to even know what was being said, because the extra noise obscured the words? The funny thing about language is that different words have different meanings, and we choose each word with the idea of making the meaning as we want it to be, rather than just shoving in words and hoping it means what we want to mean. You may say either, but they do not mean the same things in detail.

I think there’s 3 steps of this component where you need to read and ask yourself if it sounds right, does it look right and something else.  It’s keeping me up all night trying to find what this part is called in reading or grammar.

Example: “Let’s call him” “Ok-on your minutes” 

When I turn thirty, I will have been playing piano for twenty-one years.

Someone said this to me, but I can't understand what they meant by 'very worried'.  "I would have been very worried or very concerned had I in any way troubled or offended you." What does 'very worried' mean here? Why would they be? 

I would switch the order around.  That's what's causing the problem.  Also, note that I removed the word "from".  Evacuate means "to leave".   "The last time the volcano erupted, thousands of people had to evacuate the area."

Your sentence sounds awfully formal. A native speaker would probably say something like, "While the soup is slowly cooking, I go and sweep up the floor, and then I return to finish cooking the soup."
