Are there any incorrect pronunciation or expression in this record?

What is the difference between earlier and sooner? I have read some of the questions here that were asked by others here and I find it disconcerting that the answers are different. I am still confused. Some people say they are interchangeable in both past and present and future tenses: Train A arrived 5 minutes earlier/sooner than train B. Newspaper A published the article a day sooner/earlier than newspaper B. Person A got a promotion 2 months sooner/earlier than person B. I wish I had done that earlier/sooner. I will try to finish the report sooner/earlier to get off work sooner/earlier. Another school of thought among native speakers appears to be the idea that sooner cannot be used in past tenses, therefore it cannot be used in any of the sentences above and earlier should be used. Train A arrived 5 minutes earlier (not sooner) than train B. Newspaper A published the article a day earlier (not sooner) than newspaper B. Person A got a promotion 2 months earlier (not sooner) than person B I wish I had done that earlier (not sooner) I will try to finish the report sooner/earlier to get off work sooner/earlier. (Both work here according to those people because the sentence is in the present tense) Also, the same people who claim that sooner can't be used in past tenses say that earlier and sooner can be used interchangeably in future and present tenses. Train A is going to arrive 5 minutes sooner/earlier than Train B. Newspaper A is likely to publish the article a day earlier/sooner than newspaper B. If person A gets a promotion 2 months earlier/sooner than person B, person B might get a bit upset because they both work equally hard. I will try to finish the report sooner/earlier to get off work earlier/sooner. I am still confused and I don't know which school of thought to believe. I'd really appreciate it if someone could demystify the correct use of earlier and sooner. Maybe there are regional differences.

Are these called rolling shutters or roller shutters? People from the UK and Australia use roller shutter often and Americans tend to use rolling shutter more often judging by the vids I have watched. Is this a regional difference? Or is only one of the terms correct?

Is this called a rolling shutter cord/belt or a strap?

What is the name for that ''rope-like'' that is used to lower and raise a rolling shutter such as the one in picture. I have watched some videos on YouTube and the way people call it kind of all over the place. Some refer to it as a strap, some call it a belt while others say it's a cord.
