Good sport. By the way, you write very well.

Learning from (what's her name?) Gerty's experience (does anyone remember who that is?), she told me once that writing down just one post in English would at first take an hour or two. Half a year later you couldn't shut her up. It's a matter of picking up a toolbox of phrases and expressions that come out automatically, and then you only stop to think of one word or two to convey the precise meaning.

Who is Gerty???

There is/was a user called Gerty. She died.

Yeah, I still remember her nice picture that was her avatar. He disappeared several months ago or even earlier but I remember she showed up a couple times after that like a month or two ago.

Вы уже забыли писать по-русски, что-ли?

Походу да :)

Are you sure? I meant "you've already forgotten to write in Russian" not "how" to write in Russian, but I don't really know... I thought that you could follow забывать with infinitive.

He might mean вы забыли что надо писать по-русски.
Why походу should be written separately?

Ты имел в виду, что они забыли как писать на русском?
или что..
Они забывают писать на русском, как хотели этого раньше? %)

Они забывают писать на русском, как хотели этого раньше?

Это я и имел в виду.

Hmm, I'll think about it.

Спасибо за пояснение.

Спасибо всем.

Кстати, Leof:

Write more, you both are a few steps from writing like local natives!

Не считая эту фразу, твой английский всегда очень хорош!

:P
thank you basurero! Such pride and pleasure to feel when you hear something like this!

Talking about this topic - perhaps the way he did it was unusual, but Dimitri reached and got what he wanted - everyone is discussing him and paying him a lot of attention - isn't it a long wanted fame? If so - he deserved it!

I can't share some of his points, but I think he brought a bit of spice to this forum. The only thing which makes my brain stacked, and what I can't understand is the famous habit to leave clusters of posts in places where one would be enough - as you all mentioned.

Although, following the Dimitri's motto to treat everyone's feelings, I can say he succeeded here too! I like that guy - he always takes what he needs!

Lisa, thank you for help!

A bunch of posts in a row and repeating answers which were aleready given are the least annoying things. He wanted to have fun and be the center of the forum universe, you're right he got it... along with disrespect of some people.

It may be well that his provoking behavior is given rise to by the feeling of inferiority complex. Maybe it is connected with his awkward age but I hope it will be over in the future.

What is awkward about his age? Didn't he say he is 18 in the 'How old is everyone?' post?

It's not like he's 11 years old.
