Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "John"

A: In that case, it seems he needs to use the "toilet" (an American slang)

A: Talking while you're on the toilet.

A: A "John" is slang for a man who buys services from a prostitute. Called a John because they are anonymous, like John Doe.

A: It sounds to me "to kill a John" is to kill a "nobody," an average person. That's why we have the term John Doe as a name for a body without a real identity or name.

A: Does John walk now? When I hear this, I think of a habitual action as if he’s now walking to school instead of taking a bus or subway.

Is John walking now? When I hear this, I think of someone recovering from an accident and John is now able to walk after surgery OR John is now walking to school on a daily basis (i.e., the same as the first sentence).

A: They are similar in meaning, but there is a subtle difference.

"I've known John for 6 months" suggests you have known him throughout that time, spending time with him on multiple occasions.

"I met John 6 months ago" is more general. It may have just been a one-time meeting/occurrence or you may have spent time together on multiple occasions.

A: John doesn’t usually drink tea = John usually doesn’t drink tea.
They are the same!

In English you can move the word order around a lot.

You can also say:
Usually, John doesn’t drink tea
John doesn’t drink tea usually

A: there is no difference between the meanings, those are just different ways people say the same word in different countries

A: Normally you would capitalise the first letter of a name though.
John would be more appropriate.

A: @__Snowdrop__

It's not so common, I found it hard to think of examples. The only thing I can really think of is this:

It means, now I'm married and I have children, I don't have enough time to myself.

A: John has it worse than most

A: I have john Lennon style glasses

A: First one is John. Second one is Joan.

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: When john was visited by each character, each of them reminded him of who he once was and what could he have done with his powers . The emotions he goes through when he is visited by these characters are of pity and shame.
Through these characters John is awaken from his denial and finally knows his purpose.

A: sharing *
Technically it can be both, but if the friend AND the wife could speak Japanese, you would say:
"..., who BOTH happened to speak Japanese."
In your sentence, the context sounds like only the wife can speak Japanese 😁

A: oh yea its probably the text book! You pronounced everything correctly! As for your accent, its noticable but its not too strong! :)

A: For myself, i would rather say "don't you think" rather than "doesn't he".
