Actually, the most important thing in this "dude" question was..just in dictionary all these translations were negative..I mean, if I say it to my friend or smth like that I'll mean that he/she/it stupid??

I did so many mistakes??
OMG, how just could I win all the regional english olympiads??
Oh well, maybe u can rate my english??
It's very important for me..
1st, dude.. as Alexb pointed out, no.. it is okay for you to call a friend "dude." Dude in the US is now being used for almost everything like:

"Dude!" (with a nasty tone) = telling your best friend to stop stealing your french fries.
"Dude!" = wait up for me and I'll walk with you.
"Dude!" (with laughter) = I can't believe you just told off that guy

2nd, as for your mistakes and corrections, I guess it is how correct you would like us to be on the forum for you. Example:
One more question [s:35zkfcyo]elsee[/s:35zkfcyo]..for [s:35zkfcyo]a[/s:35zkfcyo]American and [s:35zkfcyo]b[/s:35zkfcyo]British (should be UK anyway) native English speaking people.
Now, I am guessing we all knew what you meant to say... but... you have some non-Native English speaking folks like Bitpicker and Johanna who have been speaking English since they were young and then you have some Russians who are better at English then most Americans (including me) and then I think we have some non-UK and non-Americans folks as well, Canadian, maybe Irish, Australian...well you get the idea.

Did I [s:35zkfcyo]did[/s:35zkfcyo] have so many mistakes? OMG, how could I just [s:35zkfcyo]could I win[/s:35zkfcyo] have won all the regional [s:35zkfcyo]e[/s:35zkfcyo]English [s:35zkfcyo]o[/s:35zkfcyo]Olympiads?? Oh well, maybe you can rate my [s:35zkfcyo]e[/s:35zkfcyo]English??
Okay, now you can see what I mean. Two things, you need to ALWAYS capitalize things like languages and countries, just the opposite of Russian (see Olya, I read your tag). Second, I would not use texting form on this forum if you are trying to learn proper English. OMG is okay and maybe a few others but don't use "u" or a lower case "i". I know if I were to be incorrect in Russian, Olya would be all over me and rightfully so.

One last thing, if you read my postings you will see that I write like a person speaks which is not always "proper" English. Yet, I will try to correct your postings to be as correct as possible. Sort of a do as I say and not as I do thing.
