'Wanna take a dice'?
Hi guys, I have 2 questions:
a. Is the sentence/idiom 'Want to take a dice on that?' being commonly used in the U.S? Is it even correct?
Is it more common to say/write something like Want to take a bet on that?
b. Let's say that I was to write a definition of the word 'dice' -- Are the following two sentences interchangable? Are they correct?
1. A dice is a squared cube.
2. A dice is a square shaped cube.
Thank you!

Hi,
All in all, do you think that teachers will minus points in a test if you write 'dice' instead of 'die', or vice versa? In everyday English speaking, people just usually say 'a dice'.
Is the excuse ''I studied/departed for England when I was 5 year old) acceptable?
''I studie

Thanks a lot, Clive.
By the way, does the word depart have to be solely used when talking about leaving one counry in order to reside in another?
Is it possible to write/say something like: The train from Cinncinati will depart for Cleveland in 2 hours?
And thank you for your amendments(year-years*).
