Hee hee. I'd be lying if I said I understood that.

Frankly speaking, I have already forgotten the initial thought myself.

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

No, it's fine. Really. It makes perfect sense. I was referring to "russian" freaking her out, not myself.

I thought only Russians teach other Russians how to speak "kirect" English.

Gawd. That's why people kill each other, they just cant understand what the other person is saying. "Wha? Just shoot the muther..." F-r-r-r-r-r-t. Done

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

to be honest, frankly - это полные синонимы или между ними есть какое-то смысловое различие?

По-моему, полные синонимы. По-английски можно сказать "to be frank" -- это значит просто "быть честным." Поэтому, все нормально и та же мысль:
To be frank, I'm not hungry.
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!"

I'll be back in a year or more when I take the Russian course at University. See you then, probably with a different username though, because I assume mine will get deleted when it is unactive for a long period of time.

Thanks to all that helped me!: Dimitri, Rtyom, TATY, Barmaley, basurero... and others.

Ok... this was just so that everyone knows and nobody asks me another question on this thread because I will not be back to reply to it.

Paka! Da-sveedanya! (Russian keyboard doesn't work on my school computer).

The Queen will be expecting it to happen sooner or later. Also America would look out for Canada of course.

I read on Wiki than the public opinion in Canada is about 50/50 on the monarchy, slighty more towards the abolition side.

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.
