> The whole Reddit is now in "Evil Russkis" mode, you can't voice the reason and common sense for absolutely anything. Hmm... Putler's trolls have been fairly easy to spot, among other things because, you know, Russian grammar apparently have no articles. (Perhaps all the Slavic languages lack them; I think I've seen the same thing from Poles and Czechs and whatnot.) The somewhat more sophisticated among them have presumably picked up on this, and are making sure to put some in where they belong... Except sometimes they probably over-compensate, and put articles in where they don't actually belong in idiomatic English. > > About a third of Russians (30 percent) speak English to one degree or another: 20 percent can read and translate using a dictionary, 7 percent are familiar with colloquial language, and 3 percent are fluent speakers, according to Romir research holding. Depends how you define "fluent", I suppose. > you can't voice the reason and common sense Hmm...?
