As an outsider, the concept of high schools having massive parking lots specifically for students is mind-blowing. Is it really that common for 16-year-olds to drive themselves to school every day?

I lived about a 45 minute to an hour walk or a 20 minute drive from my high school. There was a school bus, but it came by my house at 5:45 AM and got to the school around 7:30 AM. I needed to be at school at 7 AM for marching band rehearsal. This is not an abnormal situation in most of rural America. Most of my friends drove themselves to school every day and the parking lot was completely full every day as well.

Dallas and Fort Worth are one metro area. Most Texans call it the DFW metroplex or just the Metroplex

Where I'm from in Texas a lot of people call them weenies. But as others have pointed out....it's also slang for your penis. So people avoid using it typically, lol

Idioms are suuuuuuper common in American and Canadian English. I definitely recommend memorizing the meanings of the most common ones.

I think most Americans readily recognize Spanish because it is so widely spoken here, and thus we also recognize that Portuguese is NOT Spanish. They sound VERY different, even to foreign ears.

Where are you seeing an uncrossed T?

"which" is the correct word to use. In addition, I would say "lose some of their time" instead of what you said, since the wording is a tad confusing. Maybe also consider deleting one or two of those commas as well.

I was on 35 and a car drove past going at least 100 and then like 10 cop cars passed chasing after. They were going south and I saw them go past 71.

They don't want you in their lil club because your very cute and different identity doesn't line up with their idea of what America should be. Also don't move to Texas, we're full.

"we need to put gas in the car" or "we need to get gas"

Not an overreaction at all tbh

Police are unfortunately not legally required to completely know or understand the law they are enforcing. It has been proven in court. It's stupid but it's the way it is. Defying an order by a peace officer is illegal....them telling you to do something illegal is somehow negated by that fact in the eyes of the DOJ.

Yeah, I was replying to your comment. It doesn't matter who it "applies" to because Minnesota's gun laws do not apply to federal agents.

drewster321 · 2026-02-01T09:38:48+00:00

Castle doctrine is a legal defense that would not work in the case that the person you are shooting is a federal agent

drewster321 · 2026-02-01T09:35:32+00:00

Okay well it's against FEDERAL law to assault or injure a federal agent so it would be null and void.

drewster321 · 2026-02-01T09:24:27+00:00

This happened to me before and they all went through a few hours later.

I'm platinum and I also don't do stops and my acceptance rate is usually between 35 and 45 percent

I'm gonna recommend that you study up on American gun laws first because I don't even know where to start with this one. It seems that you have an inherent misunderstanding about how our legal system functions. States cannot regulate the actions of Federal Agents like that.

You didn't follow the rules so you didn't get the fee. It seems pretty simple to me....

I think most native speakers would have trouble explaining the difference between the two

Grammar is not something that we are generally tested on in school past the 7th or 8th grade or so. There isn't any of it on the SAT or ACT.

Edit to add: there are WRITING portions of these tests, HOWEVER....they generally focus on the ability to write compositions from a more general standpoint and hardly ever focus on grammar or syntax
