Boring.
Russian writing is loaded with the passive voice which I think is illogical. Just think: if someone was about to shoot a gun at you, an English speaker would say: Duck, he's got a... BANG!
But if it was a Russian speaker, he would say: A gun he's got...BANG! But the RUssian speaker would be dead, because he did not duck!
A Russian speaker would say "Пригнись, б#%!"
2. ... but why do RUssians bother having case endings AND prepositions, one or the other would suffice; I would recommend getting rid of the case endings!!
It won't do unless we adopt a strict word order too, but in this case it won't be Russian anymore. Oh, almost forgot... it's BORING!
3. ... when I am reading Russian I frequently have to go back because there was no "a" or "the"; which can completely change the sense of something. I don't know how Russians put up with it? :P
Articles are absolutely useless in my opinion. I suggest to get rid of them, replacing "the" with "this/these/etc.", and "a" with "one", where it's necessary.
