За русский тоже не мешало бы попростить прощения. :mrgreen:
"Американские люди" меня просто вырубили.

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.
Да, делаю ошибки иногда. Американские люди, не судите строго. Для начала я расскажу о городе в котором живу.

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.
Городу 270 лет. Лет 150 назад он назывался "Рыбная слобода". Рыбинск был столицей бурлаков. Здесь жили богатые купцы. В Рыбинске находилась хлебная биржа и мучная биржа.

В старой части города сохранился дом семьи Шенкерман, которая уехала в Америку в начале 20 века. В этой семье были два мальчика Иосиф и Николай. В штатах они изменили фамилию на Шенк. И назвались Джозеф и Ник Шенк. Джозеф шенк основал в дальнейшем Метро-Голден-Майер студию в Голливуде, и принял участи в основании национальной киноакадемии. Вот.

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.
А почему такая дискриминация? Почему только "американские люди", почему не все остальные иностранцы, читающие этот форум и изучающие русский язык?

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.
Да, вы правы, я не обратил внимание что это многонациональный форум.

Greetings Vitaly,
I am new to this forum and I do not speak any Russian nor have I been to Russia. I have been posting on this site to learn because I have been writing a fictional book for my young daughter and one of the characters has a Russian background.
I have lived in many parts of the United States (Washington D.C. area, New York, California, Illinois & Florida) and traveled to over half of the states in the United States. My husband is from El Salvador. I have also traveled to El Salvador, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Puerto Rico.
I don’t believe that all the people in the world are the same; but, I don’t need to look so very far away to get my answer. My older sister and I are only two and a half years apart; yet, no one who knows us can believe that we are sisters. Our values and beliefs are completely different. Besides having the same mother and father, we literally have nothing in common. I might actually have more in common with you than her!
During my travels, I have found that everywhere I go there are some people who yes, are similar to me in my values and experiences and others who are not. It is what makes traveling so enjoyable for me. I get to learn. The day I stop learning is the day I die.
The same as with this site. I get to learn about you, your culture, how you are different and possibly how similar you are to me.
Regards, Rockzmom

rockzmom, despite the fact that there’s a female on your avatar, she may be even you, I thought you were a man until you mentioned your husband in that post above.

Are you dissapointed? Curious as to what in my style of writing made you think that.
No, I can assure you that I am a female.
It's okay as though as I just learned last night that Оля is female and I thought she was a guy. :oops: It is harder for me as I am use to names ending in "A's" being only female and I have learned that Russian nicknames ending "A" can be a male.
So, what about you, male or female???

We must thank Vitaly for posting her question and allowing us to clear this all up. And to think I almost did not respond to her. This goes to show you must be brave with your postings.
I am not upset in any way, I think this is rather funny. I have been married to my HUSBAND for 17 years. :wink:
Please, what have I said that made you all think I was a man? My screen name says 'MOM' in it so I am rather confused here. It is not like you Оля who has a man for an avatar and a name that I have no clue on Earth how to even pronounce.
So where is our communication breakdown between the two worlds? :dunno:

Interesting, I also am curious why. I think for English speakers, it is evident she'd be female... Her avatar and the word "mom" in the nick made it to me obvious to me!
BTW: In America, at least some places, if someone writes they have a husband... it could still mean they are male! :wink:
Edit: I see Prop 8 in California won, so it is illegal for two people of the same gender to get married here (again)

Grrghhhhhh. :mrgreen: Vitaly is a MALE name!!! :lol: :lol:

Well, as for me...
First. Your avatar means nothing: TATY has Alla Pugachova's photo in his avatar, and still he's a male. Your username is too complicated, I didn't realize that "***om" (which looks male) really was "mom". :)
Second. I'm used that the overwhelming majority of foreigners on this forum are male. Newbies too.
Third. I've been assured several times by men that some other man, famous and rich, was attractive. Those men didn't believe me when I said I didn't like him.

Well, Оля is a female name. And my avatar is just... a present of a friend. :)

So sorry Vitaly. I am use to names ending in "ly" being female. I must unlearn everything for this forum.

Didn't know that one. Thought it was really a photo of Taty!!! Thanks for letting me know.
Anyone else I should know about??

I did not realize it would be complicated or cause confusion.

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.

Два дня назад был снегопад - приятный зимний денёк с заснежнными елями, но уже сегодня всё растаяло и везде на улицах грязь.

So, please tell me if you lived in Miami and where you lived in California.
Vitaly,
I use to live in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, Fl, which is very close to Miami. My father, step mother and my 105 year old grandmother, live in Wellington, Fl. I have been to Miami several times.
In California, I lived in both Santa Barabara and in Van Nuys. Van Nuys is near Los Angeles. My sister lives in Sherman Oaks which is also near Los Angeles and I have an Aunt who lives in San Francisco.
Vitaly, have you visited anywhere in the United States?
Rockzmom.

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.
No, I never was in USA. My impression of California for example formed by film "Makkena's gold". Arizona, Nevada and all California are wonderful sunny and warm land. I have a dream to visit this region, to walk a california's mounts and ocean beatchs.

Not at all. You must be one of the very few. And your being a woman would explain the geniality of your posts.
Pictures and gender here correlate not always, Оля is an example. Gender attributes in a name are also hazy sometimes – we have Chaika here on this forum who is a man notwithstanding his typically female nickname’s ending. I did not even think of deciphering your nick when I saw it had too many consonants in it henceforth assuming you had trouble registering¸” a user with this name already exists, choose another one”. So you threw in a pile of “any key” strokes to get done with it and got your name. I had that trouble and added the next available letter to my name ending up with alexB. Alex stands for Alexander; I hope it’s a male name in your country.

Re: Why such grey outmn in Russia? Thoughts aloud.
About 10 years ago there was a serial "Santa Barbara" on our TV chanal. It went very long. I remembed it began when i start 1 th class of school and ended when i was allready at the 5 th class. Currently I decide to find city of Santa-Barbara with GoogleEarth program. And I found it town - small sunny town on a Pacific Ocean beatch arrounded by montains and deserts. the location of most california's towns is the same - skyscrapers between montains and deserts. I think such position is intresting and unusual.
А Майами - это вообще сказка. Особенно меня поразили небоскребы на берегу океана и пальмы рядом, белые пески пляжей. Кажется - что ещё человеку нужно! Живи себе и живи!

Alex,
Yes, Alexander is a male name and we also have Alexandra for the girls. I actually had Alexzander on my list as one of the boy names if I had a boy because I liked the nickname Zander. But alas, I had two girls and I did not want to use it for a girl as if she decided to use Alex for her nickname it can be confusing as we have seen here.
Your English is VERY impressive. Are you certain Russian is your native language? How long have you been studying English? Do you know other languages?

We call the serials in the U.S. "Soap Operas" or "Soaps" It has to do with the fact that when they first started on radio, soap manufacturers were the show's sponsors or advertisers. In Latin America, they are called, "Telenovela" or just "Novelas."

Santa Barbara is very beautiful place. I went to college there at Brooks Institute for photography http://www.brooks.edu/ . What I found to be weird and fascinating at the same time were the oil rigs off the coast. At night time they are all lit up and you can see them from the beach. Here is an example of what I am speaking about. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3204/...752ec2.jpg?v=0
I would sit on the beach and stare at them. I had never seen them before and they just mesmerized me.
