    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Well, I don't think I'll overrule you, although I will disagree with calling it ungrammatical. I think it depends on whether you stress the word are or any.

    I noticed what Vinnie is saying, too, and it is more common to stress are, which would make the contraction "wrong". If you stress any, then the contraction is ok. Either one is fine for colloquial speech as long as you say it right, IMO.

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but your signature needs some corrections too...

    Южжжжжжжжжжииииииииииииии икккккк......
    Кто-то, Разрешите закурить....спасибо.
    If the first is a snakelike hedgehog, then it must be
    Ёжжжжжжжжжжиииииииииииииии кккккк......

    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.

    corrections (c) xRoosterx
    Я так думаю.

    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.
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.

    Да, Ёжик. Well, I intended it to be "Someone, let me smoke....thank you"

    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.

    и спасибо Леоф.
    xRoosterx, мне даже неудобно об этом говорить.
    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:
    И спасибо, Леоф.
    Надеюсь, ты меня понял.

    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!

    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.
