  • These items are quite cheap, and there is a large variety. "Variety" is a noun. You could say "various" but it is not idiomatic.

 

  • I knew same meaning between 'won't' and 'will not'
  • I know same meaning between "won't" and "will not" have the same meaning, but what is more natural or common? Always use "will not" in formal writing (almost only for business or school). "Won't" is okay in informal writing (like on Lang-8). When speaking, it is more common to say "won't," but if you want to make a strong point, you can say "will not."

  • What is difference in proununcation?
  • And then, what is difference in pronunciation between "want" and "won't?" Where I am from (Pennsylvania) people say the A in "want" like the O in "one" or the short U in "hunt." The O in "won't" is a long O like in "show." Some accents pronounce it differently.

I always use Amazon when I am in the US, but online shopping is really inconvenient for me in Korea. In the US, it only requires a debit card, so I was a little bit spoiled.
