Two: When I read it, I didn't know it was not originally in English.
Excuse me for noticing bad grammar.
I will never point it out again.
Thanks.
I don't mind being late. I don't mind pointing out bad grammar. I do it myself. Don't let me stop you from pointing it out. I wasn't talking about those things. I just thought it was odd that you wrote the guy off for bad grammar, for whatever reason. People with bad grammar or poor spelling can have good comments. That was my only point.
Dude, Chill! It is a freaking translation...maybe your Russian to English skills are better than the contractor that translated the article...sheeesh...
It is a reprint from a blog-not a PRAVDA original...
DUDE. I realize that. Now.
Maybe using caps will help everyone get off my damn case:
FOR THE LAST TIME, I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A TRANSLATION FROM RUSSIAN TO ENGLISH WHEN I MADE THE COMMENT.
Read carefully:
I'm sorry.
No need to apologize. People-leave him alone. I am sorry if we all ganged up on you..that’s the magic/problem of real-time communications...
Peace
Hear is a partial response to an e-mail from the author of the article. The “Pravda” that the article originated from is not the one the is the Commie Party mouthpiece.
“This is not the same Pravda you are thinking of. Pravda.ru was started in 1999, I believe, and is a semi-nationalist paper. Pravda the printed news paper is the communist mouth piece. Also in most Russian news stands each party has their own political paper, so there are dozen major papers to choose from.”
This helped me understand the striking change in articles, it is literally not the same “Pravda”.
Thanks for the follow-up. It makes more sense now. To have a communist mouthpiece denouncing Marxism would be pretty significant.
Still a very good article.
Lad, how’s your Russian?
Sorry.
Read the later comments.
Have a good one :-)
Will do... You, too.
