it's God save the Queen

There is some short word between "the" and "Queen"... Sounds like ukrainian га or english "our".

Versteher Сегодня в 11:20

So, according to his pattern,  he'd better say "Be being smiling!"

Lodur, yes, you're pretty right. I should have known. But I don't agree with Versteher, I think that most people here can speak or read English. It's not Swedish, Hindi or Turkish. English is taught every f*cking where now. And the language itself is not so complicated to master.

I don't mean to nag but wouldn't the preposition "on" sound better than the "at" in such a context? Is the prep. "at" admissible here at all?

But why?

The more verba the better.

Verba cor linguae sunt.

I ain't sayin it's bad. I just wanna make things clear for mysel.If i rememba rightly they say "on the site, on Twitter, on Youtube..." but neva "at",do they?

you can shout at youtube, so I guess if you have a microphone hooked up to a text to speech program...

Yes, I can. But here I meant to talk over the locative meaning (for example, "where did ya find this vid?"-"On Youtube"/not "at Youtube"/). I sorta guessed that the prep. "at" is inconvenient for representing of locative relations in our case (when speaking about websites).

At Youtube = на ютюб (кричать на Ютюб, работать на Ютюб, и т.д.)
On Youtube = на ютюбе

YOU said that

How about - "I searched Youtube", eh ?

Now back to the subject shall we?

I watched mini-series called "Ideal" recently, and I was really amazed by the accents they had there. I had to get me some subtitles fast otherwise I couldn't understand a thing they were saying.
Supposedly the actors are from Manchester so that must be a northern accent. Although once I had a chance to talk to a real Liverpudlian and she did not have any sort of an accent at all. She was educated I guess:)

As for the mini-series - I also liked "Black Adder" and I would highly recommend this classic of a show to anyone. Unfortunately I could not find any subtitles for this show. So I guess about 20-25% of the dialogues were lost to me due to accents (not very heavy by the way), bad sound quality and rapid speech of the actors. By the way the vocabulary used in this show is amazing as are the dialogues, I learned many new words and the humor is terrific! Rowan Atkinson is at his best!

Ta-ra!

P.S. Hope you'd be so kind as to point out any mistakes in my text. Thanks.

Let's discuss several points of the English grammar that I find interesting. For example, the "singular they."
(wiki/en) Singular_they

I've  come across an example of this in the Julian Barbour book "The End of Time". On page 43 there is a sentence:
"We can all tell the rough age of a person from a glance at their face".

Wazzup people, I wonder why would someone need an artificial language for international communication (say Esperanto for example) when we already have English being thought throughout the whole world. In the esperanto topic I remember myself mentioning that having God given Scripture in a particular language would highly increase it's vitality, believe it or not - that has already happened with English, so if you're are a Christian you have every reason to learn it despite of the lawlessness promoted by the West. You can find the Scripture over here.

Exactly!!! I also wonder why would someone need science and such, when the Scripture explains everything!

Pfff. Stupid godless humans!!! Read the Scripture and be blessed!
