"Frankly speaking," is a little long-winded. I'd go with just "to be honest," or "frankly,"

Это зависит от ситуации... в обиходных ситуациях, лучше использовать "to be honest, frankly," однако, сказать "frankly speaking" звучит умнее.Quote:

По-моему, полные синонимы. По-английски можно сказать "to be frank" -- это значит просто "быть честным." Поэтому, все нормально и та же мысль:Quote:

Frankly, I just don't have an appetite.
To be honest, I just ate, so I'm not ready for lunch.
Honestly, I don't want anything to eat!
А конечно, самый известный пример словы "frankly": Рэт Ватлер: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" :D
The Queen will be expecting it to happen sooner or later. Also America would look out for Canada of course.Quote:

A lot of countries have ceremonial head's of state though:
Germany has a president who is ceremonial. The Chancellor actually does stuff.
Israel has a ceremonial president. The Prime Minister actually does stuff.
Hungary has a ceremonial President. The Prime Miniters actually does stuff.
The UK has a Queen. The Prime Minister actually does stuff.
The thing is about Canada is it has the Queen who is ceremonial, then the Governer who is ceremonial, then the Prime Minister, who actually does stuff. I believe the same applies to Australia.
