Awesome tool for non-native speakers! 😍 Definitely going to make use of this.
Would be cool to have a vote-down system or a way to report when results aren't valid.
Sometimes, you have the word in mind but could not figure out the better way of delivering its usage. One would end up Googling for phrases hoping for the best lines to appear. Often, you have to pay the page a visit for better understanding as the exact words do not appear on the list. And sometimes, they aren't just the ones you're looking for. This, so far, provides you the lines, in a snap :)
Pros:
Simple and fast
Cons:
Perhaps, some room for improvement still not clinging up to my thoughts. Thus, none, so far
Hey @vicky_buddie, sorry for that! The validation failed due to the dot at the end of the sentence. I'll fix it. BTW, it does return some results if you query without a dot https://dopeoplesay.com/q/hell-h...
Such a good idea! When I studied French at uni I used to Google search phrases as well, but it rarely returned anything helpful. I think Reddit is actually a pretty good source of language, as it's more likely to have the kind of informal speech that wouldn't be in textbooks and that you may not learn if you're only studying at school/uni.
Two ideas: 1. try it for different languages and 2. would be cool if there were some way of working out the 'formality' (or otherwise) of a phrase. I realise that this could depend on the context though. For example 'get off' returns results for two different uses of the phrase.. https://dopeoplesay.com/q/get-off
@venetiasarah Thanks, Venetia! That's really great idea. I'll try to figure out how I can label the matches. Thanks for the suggestion, very appreciated!

Great work! Here are my two cents.
@henadzit I would also like to see synonyms of the word they use instead. eg: if I search for "film", I would also like to see if people are mostly using "movie"
Sameway, If I'm typing a big text, i would also like to see if there are any quick single word I can use instead. eg: "slow-moving or inactive" can be called "sluggish"

Better than google translate or google search. Works fast so it can be used any time.
Pros:Woohoo, helps non-native (me) looks like a native :)
Cons:Would be nice to see a url to actual source on reddit so I can check the context. Maybe it makes sense to add wikipedia as a source.
