Your grammar betrays you. Your English is correct to a fault.

Try adding some colloquialisms to your writing and maybe add some locally flavored jargon and slang to go along with your legend and then maybe you’ll be more convincing.

See, if you lived in Washington, D.C. then you’d just call it ‘DC’ or ‘The District’ as everyone who lives there does. And they don’t care if anyone else doesn’t understand what ‘DC’ or ‘The District’ means because if they don’t get it then they’re contemptible and not worth the effort.

You’re also missing the mix of language that’s typical of DC. It doesn’t show up in ANY of your recent posts.

Contact your Embassy in DC and ask one of their cultural attachés for some information on DC slang and jargon and then work on it.

Zhelayu udachi,moy droog!

Where do you live? I have lived in the DC area since 1975 after graduation from NYU Law School and on Capitol Hill since 2000, near 9th and Mass NE. Would you like to ask me some test questions to prove my bona fides?

I worked at the National Labor Relations Board and was also an official at HUD in the Reagan Administration when Sam Pierce was Secretary.

Meanwhile, you don’t seem to deny that on the issues, Russia and Putin are on the conservative side.

Why don’t you just start a thread on the Pentagon briefings about the war and ping everyone who wants a true unbiased all-American reporting of events?
