I wouldn't use there're, it is ungrammatical and slangish. "There are" should be used at all times :)Quote:

The second part is not the common Russian either, but, if you like, you could write the English version and then we would find the best Russian translation for your signature.

I hadn't associated "confuse" with "конфуз" until you pointed out the similarity. "Конфуз" is part of my passive vocabulary, whereas "confuse" is definitely in my active lexicon.Quote:

Thank you both, I'll take it into consideration. :)

Когда читала "Тайну угрожающих писем" Энид Блайтон, то не верила, что кто-то и вправду может писать большие буквы вместо маленьких в середине слова. Теперь готова поверить.Quote:
Кто-то, Разрешите закурить... спасибо.
xRoosterx, мне даже неудобно об этом говорить.Quote:
и спасибо Леоф.
Если ты не умеешь слова на русском подбирать, то хотя бы знаки препинания расставляй как следует и пиши с большой буквы в начале предложения. Например:
Надеюсь, ты меня понял.Quote:
И спасибо, Леоф.
Присоединяюсь. Люби его в другом месте.Quote:

In written English, one shall not use the contraction as it is colloquial and used only in speech. I know Zaya, and she doesn't want to come across as a sloppy individual! :lol:
That's true, but there is also such a thing as formal and informal writing. We tend to write in a conversational style on this forum, so I wouldn't make an issue of it here.Quote:
