I need help
1 In America, I hear people say "senior" not with the /n/ but with the /n/ in Spanish, how come?
2 What is the difference between satisfying and satisfactory?
3 If I want to omit something in the quote, can I use it like this: "In this town (Bilatserkva), children were [...] packed into a truck. ." , with [...] is an omission of an unnecessary part. Or should I use (...) instead?
Thanks in advance
