"Impossible. When Teacher Zhang makes a show, he's always very care to fact check and surely would not make such a stupid mistake!"
"he's always very care" this part rubs me the wrong way... dunno how to fix it T_T

When referring to minutes, can't "There's" (especially when contracted) be used as well? Although "There are" is more grammatically correct and more comfortable to say. Ah, what do I know? You're probably right.

Neverfire7 Olivia I would say that she was right, but i chose to use it as it was within speech form, therefore i went with the more informal talk. From what I gathered, all three forms are usable depending on how you see time, so in this case, I'll keep that unchanged. The others have been updated, thank you!

"go to" is probably correct but "go" just sounds better to me.

The Latin loanword cum, originally a preposition meaning with, in English has come to mean plus or along with being. It usually takes the form [noun]-cum-[noun], with the two nouns denoting characteristics of a person or thing. It’s often used to describe an individual’s or thing’s contradictory or surprising characteristics—for example, “Jimmy is a hunter-cum-animal-activist.”

Yeah

Okay, thank you for explaining it :D

Yeah Oops, I was wrong...
