"Pick" is the act of choosing. "Take" is grabbing something (and carrying it). For example, "Pick (choose) which phone you want. I've already paid for it, so you can just TAKE the one you pick."
"Not Safe For Work." It's a tag that people put on photos (almost always pornographic or of naked people) to warn people that they're about to see something that is not safe (to show or be seen) at work. In other words, if your boss found you looking at those photos when you're supposed to be working, you'd be in big trouble. Similarly, NSFL ("Not Safe For Life") is a tag that some people use to warn people that the photo they're about to see is too bloody, disgusting, or disturbing (e.g., a dead body whose head has been ripped off, a cut or wound that has become infected).
"advanced happy birthday" or "advance happy birthday" ?
"Advanced happy birthday" would mean something like "higher-level happy birthday." (It's cute, but it doesn't make much sense.)"Advance happy birthday" is right. (It works in the same way as "advance notice," a message or warning you give ahead of time.) But "Happy birthday in advance" and "Early happy birthday" sound better. 👌
hi what's the difference between "payed" and "paid" like i get it but it confuses me sometimes.. thank you!
"Payed" is the past tense of "pay" for ONLY this meaning: "to seal (the deck or hull seams of a wooden ship) with pitch or tar to prevent leakage." In other words, unless you're writing about sailing or ships, you will probably NEVER use "payed.""Paid" is the past tense of "pay" for "to give money" or "suffer a loss or misfortune," e.g., Henry paid for Nan's lunch yesterday. We paid dearly for our mistakes. Peter paid for the books with his credit card.
is it okay to use "jonas's" ? (jonas is singular) or is it just jonas'?
For names that end in "s" (e.g., Chris, Thomas, Jonas, Phyllis, Dennis), both are right.- Chris's = Chris' - Thomas's = Thomas' - Jonas's = Jonas'And so forth. It's not a rule. It's a matter of personal preference, or if you write for a newspaper or publication, it's up to that organization's style preference.Here is some more information regarding this topic: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1HEf7Hd
"I COULDN'T care less" is right. (However, MANY people say "I could care less," and everyone understands that they meant "I COULDN'T care less.")👩💭 If you really think about it, "I could care less" means that you actually care about something. "I couldn't care less" means that you don't care at all; therefore, you couldn't care any less than that.

Which one is correct "he said he is differen" or "he said he was different" ?
It depends. If he was different back then but he's not different now, "He said he WAS different" would work better, e.g., Mike told Nancy that he was different from everyone else when they were children.But if he was different back then and he's still different now, "He said he IS different" would work better, e.g., Mike proudly told Nancy that he is different from every other man in the world.
Think of "could" as "can"; think of "would" as "will." ("Could" is the past tense form of "can"; "would" is the past tense form of "will.") In other words, think of "could" for situations that involve ability or permission: I COULD beat you in basketball if I wanted to. When I was younger, I COULD dunk a basketball.Think of "would" for possible situations that have not happened or that you are imagining: I WOULD quit my job if I won $20 million. WOULD you still be my friend if I betrayed you? Also, use "would" to ask polite questions (e.g., "Would you mind if I smoked?"), or to wish for something ("I wish she would hurry up and give us the answers.").For more on this long and complicated topic, read this: http://bit.ly/1e6s2VI 👍

No. "The store is closed" means that the store is not open (because it's past the normal business hours or because it's a holiday). If it's currently closing, you would say "The store is about to close" or "The store is currently closing."
