Actually it's "auld" . Which means . . . . . .old. Wikipedia gives the pronunciation as "ald" so that's probably why it was mistakenly transcribed as "all." I don't have any explanation for how "Should" became "May".

Ha ha, that's way more than I needed to know. How do you say "too much information" in Chinese.

I would say if you want to know if you are making a mistake you need to ask directly. I have never seen a team member make an unsolicited correction to anyone's Chinese. You have to ask: "is this right"?

re: 温柔 -- like "sweet" in English? Something a girl might call a guy or a guy might call a girl, but not something a guy would call another guy.

Yes, you are correct. Of course the events depicted in this podcast are purely fictitious. 囧

着凉 means catch a cold.

感冒 can mean catch a cold, or mean a cold.

我感冒了。 I caught a cold.

我的感冒还没好。 My cold hasn't gotten any better.
