Do you use the word "motor-car' for "car'?
Do you use "shall",i.e. I shall go or We shall come"
Do you use "petrol" for "gas"?
Is it possible to say:"I'm loving you?
Do you use "post" for "mail"?
I'm a Brazilian, and we don't have good teachers around. Would you say "don't have' or "haven't got"? I' d appreciate your help since you all speak the current British language. I don't like the American dialect. Thanks again.

I am able to express myself clearly on paper and my spelling and grammar are generally good. Unfortunately, when I speak, I find myself saying "like" or "wanna" or "'cuz". In my head I can enunciate perfectly and generally have sentences that are well-constructed, but when I speak I occasionally stutter and can't get my thought out. I also find myself embarrassed to use words that I use in my head, such as "prolix" or "recondite" because I simply can't pull them off. How do my well-spoken professors do so?

Thanks

A Grundo, a Gnorbu, a Gelert, and a Grarrl need to walk from Sakhmet to Qasala during a really bad heat wave. The heat is so bad, it's not possible to cross the open desert without some sort of shade. Fortunately, they have one umbrella. Unfortunately, however, only a maximum of two pets at a time can fit under the umbrella. The Grundo can cross the desert alone in 20 minutes. The Gnorbu can make the crossing alone in 16 minutes. The Grarrl can make the crossing alone in 8 minutes. And the Gelert can make the crossing in 4 minutes. Note that when two pets are making the crossing, they must do so at the pace of the slower pet!What is the minimum number of minutes that it will take for all of the pets to safely be together in Qasala?
