Hi! I've recently come across the phrase "for all (someone) cares" and GPT told me it's a fixed English idiom. Is that right? I know it's not meant literally. I've often heard it in TV shows and movies, but I never thought about it grammatically. I find its capability of producing an ironic meaning is interesting! For example: He can quit tomorrow, for all I care. → I really don't care if he quits tomorrow.

Hi Everyone / Hola Todos! Has anyone else experienced problems with the recent updates that iTalki has made to their app/website? It's been absolutely awful the past several weeks. I've been a loyal iTalki user for years now, but I've gotten so frustrated recently that I'm seriously considering switching to another platform, and was wondering what others have been experiencing.

I can’t connect to italki today is there a problem with the website?
