-Do you wear shoes indoors? As in just walk right into the house from outside?

This might be a regional thing, but I have never come into a house where the normal thing to do is keep your shoes on. I usually take mine off when I get into my bedroom. The only time I'll keep them on is if I'm at someone's house for the first time and they haven't asked me to remove my shoes. They usually either ask me to remove them at the door or tell me to "make myself at home" which usually means "you can take off your shoes dude, don't be weird"

-Does the milk you buy at the grocery store really have added sugar in it? Regular cow’s milk I mean, not the flavored stuff.

I don't think so, but I also don't buy milk so idk

-In baseball, does it mean anything in particular if someone catches the ball without it touching the ground? I ask because I’ve all I know about baseball is what I’ve seen in clips online and they usually seem to be in a big hurry to throw the ball back, except when they catch it.

catching the ball while its active means the hitter is automatically out. if it touches the floor then you have to rush the ball back to the basemen so someone can tag him out.

-Are portion sizes really that big? The normal ones I mean (If you order the “supersize” that’s to be expected).

probably? I don't really have anything to compare it to, but everyone seems to say it is.

-Do students really have to pledge a loyalty oath to the country every morning when school starts?

they don't have to. The pledge is said every day but anyone can refrain at any time for any reason.

-What exactly is “bail”? If you get arrested can you just pay some money and then wander of as best you please until you have to go to court?

p much. It's important to remember bail can be set ridiculously high or not given at all, though.

-Do people really drive to bars? Can you drink so much and then legally drive to make it worth doing?

Yeah that's normal. They might have a designated driver. I personally don't drive so this isn't an issue for me.

Detention
Most detention I had in school was lunch detention. If you skip, my school would suspend you.

Tipping
Tipping is always optional, and the standard is 15%

Yank
Not at all. I've never even heard this said in real life before.
