    It looks to me like he forgot English too.
    Your "Queen's English?" Never cared for it. I live in America.
    So you're saying that "You are the God's present to me." is correct in American English?

    Нет, это тема отпочковалась по ходу дела, и поступило предложение обсудить её в другой части форума.) Переводится примерно так:
    Давайте найдем время и поговорим о сослагательном наклонении... в General Discussion (Разговоры на общие темы). Какой вариант является правильным, wish I was there или wish I were there?

    Вообще-то на этот вопрос уже коротко и ясно ответила Lampada, и я с ней согласна (если не развивать тему were и was в этой конструкции и не вспоминать о том, что было правильным когда-то и где можно встретить was сегодня).

    Picky, picky, picky... Maybe, this is better for you?

    "You are God's gift to me."

    There... 1,790 hits on Google for this one. Happy now?
    Well, I don't know what to say. I want to say thanks to the Academy, to Mama, to Papa and to my dog. I love you all.

    Гугль находит всё, что может найти в Интернете. А в Интернете на английском языке пишут как носители языка, так и не-носители. Еще неизвестно, кого больше.
    Вообще слепое доверие к Гуглю - это так... американично.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    [(Edited out. L) mode]

    "You are the God's present to me."

    What the hell does this mean?????

    The God?????
