      The talk on idioms at the end was good, even for English speakers learning other languages.
      "Irregardless" was one I thought of, when a person is just supposed to use "regardless".
      When someone says, "I'm going to do this crazy thing, irregardless of the consequences.", as an English speaker, I have no idea what that might mean behavior-wise.

    Fishes technically isn’t incorrect English although it sounds awkward to most native speakers. It can be used if there are multiple species of fish. Also the word fishes is part of an older form of English so you will still hear/see it sometimes in certain contexts or older texts. For example the word fishes is heavily used in the King James Bible. However, most English speakers no longer speak this way conversationally.

      There can be a bit of a cultural barrier in delivery. I can't speak for every culture, but I've spoken to many Europeans who would say "you look tired" in a deadpan way. In their culture, this is honest and straightforward, but in most English-speaking cultures, this is rude. In English, you can absolutely tell someone that they look tired, but the polite way to do so is to deliver it in a manner that comes across as concerned for their well-being. The "are you okay?" should be implied if not asked as a follow-up.

    It's very common in Sweden that you can hear someone say "You look tired, do you want me to take you home?" or like "You look tired, you should go and take a nap", but we are saying it in a carrying way too. Like the Asians does. We can also say like "You have drunken to much, I'm going to drive you home now". But the person can say it different of course, because it depends on how the person likes to say it.

    How many Americans do you know, who would answer honestly if anyone asked them about how are they feeling today? : >
    Not that many, except for close group of people/family I think, so sometimes it's better to confront them about looking/being really tired (not to mention that American work ethic and labour laws suck hard and people are learned not to complain because they may lose the job on the spot)
    In my experience Brits and Aussies are more prone to complain when asked the same question : )

    I am from NYC the difficult part to explain to a nonnative when it comes to ‘how are you doing’ kind of questions is that most of the time we don’t care about the answer so we expect you wouldn’t either. For example when I say ‘how is it going’ I mean it as a greeting and expect to hear something like ‘fine thanks, have a good one’ I don’t expect to hear a monologue about how your life is going to date. While it may seem rude to preface that with a blunt observation like ‘you look old’ I think it would be much more effective in getting the answer you are looking for.

      I grew up in the tri-state area around NYC and that's true, "how's it going" is definitely just a greeting. In fact, I usually just respond with "how's it going" in return when someone says that to me. But that's definitely something that seems to be localized around the NYC tri-state area. Because any time I say "how's it going" to my southern or mid-western friends, they always start to tell me about their day. I politely sit and listen because they're my friends. But I always have a bit of a chuckle about it in my head because I just meant "hey".

      @@tomthecat9317 There are a couple contexual clues that can help. If it's the first thing said, it's most likely meant as a simple greeting not an actual greeting. Especially so if it is said quickly or in a bright and cheery way. But if greetings are already over with, and someone asks 'how are you doing' or some version thereof, they're genuinely asking.
      All that being said, I personally don't like using those sorts of questions as a mere greeting because of the ambiguity. So I have, on occasion, answered the question in an uncomfortable amount of detail on purpose. And if they give me grief about it, I reply 'you asked'. I only do this with friends/family of course. They do it a lot less now, at least with me, than they used to.

      Fishes is also used in an older form of English that is no longer spoken much conversationally. Anyone who has ever read the King James version of the Bible which is written in Early Modern English has seen the word fishes. I still read/hear fishes in certain Biblical or scholarly contexts. No one says thou anymore but I wouldn’t go so far as to say thou is incorrect English. I would say it’s not conversational and discourage people from using it. Speaking of people, persons is a correct but not highly used plural form of person. I typically only encounter the word persons in legal and scholarly texts.

    So, I live in the US, and my parents always told me (and basically anyone I know) how they look. My mom is always commenting on my weight, my face, my state of being without any tact whatsoever. Maybe it’s a cultural difference? My folks never cared whether something could be considered insulting to someone at all, but they mean everything with the best intentions. It’s because they always worry about people’s well being. “Have you lost weight?” or “Are you sick? You look tired and grey. Eat/drink X, Y, or Z!” or my favorite “You look fatter today. You’ve been eating better, then? Your husband must be feeding you - he’s such a good cook.”

      @@bobeczek01 I wasn’t doubting your ability to hear. There would have to be a context given in order to know if it was a grammar mistake. Lady’s and ladies have no distinction when spoken. I live in the USA, and it is rare for me to hear someone who is a native say two childs when they should say two children. Maybe the UK is different. In the USA, it is more likely to hear various pronunciations of the word children based on our dialects. So I have heard more people say churen or chiren than I have heard say childs. Basically dropping the l and the d from the word.

    The double negative is interesting. While technically incorrect in proper English, it is very old. If you look at it as saying something twice for emphasis, it makes more sense. If you look at it logically, then of course "I don't know nothing" means I do know something...

    Fishes is perfectly acceptable if you could be talking about a situation where there are different types of fish. If there was a fish tank that only had a few of a single fish species than you should say “fishes” but if the tank had more than one species of fish you could say “fishes”. It's often technically correct when people say it, even if they don’t understand that “fish” is the common plural form of “fish”

      “I’m hard” in English would mean you have an erection. Your body is is physically hard. 😆 Hard can also mean “difficult” in English but when you are mentally going through a difficult or challenging time… it is the time that is hard, not you yourself. So the appropriate way to convey this with the word “hard” would be something like, “I’m having a hard time.” or more specific, “I’m having a hard time studying.” or you could say something like, “My family is going through hard times.”. Also, you can avoid this confusion by using different vocabulary instead of “hard”. You could use “difficult”, “challenging”, “stressful”, etc… and they would make it even more clear what you mean!

We have a lot of common words that have old plurals; a suffix not used a lot (child:children, ox:oxen), a sound change (mouse:mice, goose:geese) or the plural is the same as the singular (deer, fish). The vast majority just end in "s" or "es". The list of these is thankfully a short one, but you tend to use them a lot.
      Fun fact: the word fish has two plurals, one for a collective group of the same sort (one fish, several fish) and one for groups of distinct types (several fishes at the aquarium). English is gonna English, y'all.

    Everything they said about the "you look tired, you should go home" example is 100% spot on. With that said, I kind of wish it wasn't. There seems to be a very strong strain of passive-aggressiveness built into the UK-based cultures (UK, USA, Australia). They're definitely correct that if you notice someone looks tired and you say something like "oh man, I'm exhausted, how are you feeling" in the hopes they'll reciprocate it'll go over a lot better with most people. But I kind of wish that wasn't true. It adds this layer of dishonesty and deviousness to our every day conversations that I don't think needs to be there.
    I think you should be able to tell someone they look tired if you notice that, as long as you're doing it from a place of genuine concern. And I think people in our culture should maybe develop a bit more of a backbone to be able to take those kind of comments with grace.

Then they feel like they always have to wear makeup or people will start commenting on how they look, and that can be annoying and objectifying.
      It's also the idea that you are assuming, instead of asking someone how they are you say that they seem a certain way. I would instead ask "How are you doing today?" and they can tell me if they think I should know. No need to beat around the bush so much like they did in this video
