    Thank you for your corrections!

No one has been able to prove to me that either one is absolutely correct, so I treat кофе as онo and just accept my fate that from time to time I will be corrected by those who insist it is actually a masculine word.
    Я приучил себя не обращать внимания на граммар-наци в подобных случаях.

    Вот потому, что вы говорите то, что не думаете, и думаете то, что не думаете, вот в клетках и сидите. И вообще, весь этот горький катаклизм, который я здесь наблюдаю, и Владимир Николаевич тоже…
