You know how to use definite and indefinite articles perfectly, but you
have a Russian name, so you must be either second generation or first
generation (before the age of seven) Russian American. I have worked with
absolutely brilliant Russian and Polish guys in the past who knew English
perfectly except for how to use articles. They always had me review their
otherwise impeccable papers to correct articles before publishing.
Thank you for the praize, quite the surprise. This would imply my
English is better than I had hoped. I know there are inconsistencies
such as 'to praize/surprise', etc, but that's mostly because, in
school, I learned British-English, while most of the ...audio training
was Hollywoodian in nature, so to speak. However, Andy is right, I am
Romanian, and Vlad is a fairly common name here, even if the origins
are slavic -- they had the second highest influence in history, from
which we got the Orthodox church and the cyrillic alphabet (used up to
the 18th century, even if the language was Latin-based). I've never
been in the US before, or UK.
What do you know of traditional Russian foods? I know praniki is a generic
term, but do you know of the unleavened hard biscuit/cookie that is made
from white flour, sugar and mint? They are like a teething biscuit for
babies. They are better than chocolate.
They're called biscuits here and, for my part, the "old" recipes still
contribute to higher levels of moisture on my tongue...
