toysoldier Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Well yeah, the grammar articles are something rather foreign to Slavic languages, as you may have noticed in my posts (esp. the longer ones) - so we usually drop 'em, though there are people who are aware of that and overcompensate by sticking them everywhere Or the opposite... Tolstoy would write strongly worded letters to his foreign editors demanding that his works were translated without grammar articles at all, and don't they try and fool him, he could read in many languages
swerve Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) It's a common mistake in the Japanese translations to English I check. Only the best translators consistently get 'em right. No articles in Japanese. Edited November 21, 2015 by swerve

Sardaukar Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Well but it at least rehashes the old joke about the difference between Pravda and Izvestiya newspapers... "There are no news (izvestiya) in Pravda and there is no truth (pravda) in Izvestiya" Old Finnish joke..don't try to use Pravda to lit up your fireplace..."since truth doesn't burn even in fire".

And trademarks infringe freedom of religion. http://www.sputniknews.com/russia/20151123/1030602483/scientology-church-ban.htmlThey where newer in fact "allowed", banned by two court rulings (2010 and 2012) but cared little about it Scientology chirch building opened
Panzermann Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Scientology is not recognized as religious group in Germany as well. They operate as non profit club I think. And like to bitch against Germany being Nazis and poor Scientology is being discriminated against like jews have been. Though it has been quiet in recent years.
Ssnake Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Scientology is not recognized as religious group in Germany as well. They operate profitably as non profit club I think. FIFY.
Panzermann Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Scientology is not recognized as religious group in Germany as well. They operate profitably as non profit club I think. FIFY.Of course. With Scientology I took that as a given. It is their raison d'etre after all.
Roman Alymov Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I remember passing Scientology building in City of London. Not very big office, but still worth fortune I think…..

APF Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Well, it isn't.At least not when compared to mercury vapors or organic compounds. So, in order to demonstrate its "harmlessness" he should keep an open basin with mercury in his room.
Mr King Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Political correctness, Russia knows it not, and I find that pretty ironic.
Roman Alymov Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Political correctness, Russia knows it not, and I find that pretty ironic. Soviet time was so heavily "politically correct" (long before the word for it was invented in US) that now it is a kind of overreaction in opposite direction. Actually present-day West is seen as sad joke by us Soviet-born....

Roman Alymov Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Interesting is that this kitchen cutting board was discovered by US Embassy press secretary in high-end organic food shop in Moscow. Shops chain already apologized....
Roman Alymov Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 An insult to all chimpanzees!By the way it is interesting if claiming this image to be resist accounts to racism itself? Or at least indicates the way of thinking... Nice subject to play by lawyers...
Panzermann Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 The truth is out! The cat out of the bag! The plot uncovered!
