    Rules and Regulations

    Actually I'm just wondering if these two sentences about rules are correctly translated to Russian:

    1) The rules were displayed for all to see.
    Правила были выставлены на всеобщее обозрение.

    2) Always follow the rules outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy.

    Всегда следуйте правилам, указанным в политика допустимого использования.

    1) is ok
    2) Wrong case. Must be "политикe".

    Grammatically, see post #2.
    Lexically, I don't like the word "политика" at all.
    Even though the word becomes more and more often used here, it is originally an adopted word meaning "politics", not "policy". But regardless of the fact that it's now rapidly enlarging its scope and becomes more and more stuffed with other English meanings, I still frown upon it.

    I'd say:
    Всегда следуйте правилам, указанным в Положении о допустимом использовании.

    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.

    Elsewhere I was told that the same general meaning is conveyed with:
    Всегда следуйте правилам пользования сетью.
    I assume that указанным в can be inserted, but isn't necessary to get the message across.

    It's just like "Follow our rules" vs "Follow directives outlined in our rules" or "Follow rules outlined in our directives". Probably I misused english words, but I think idea is clear.
