Grammar [ spelling, syntax, and so on. ]

I think it's a good idea to discuss our rules about grammar in this forum. I propose not to be tough on each other about grammar. Why? Because there is a lot of automatic tools for correction grammar mistakes, so why bother ourselves with correct spelling? Besides, we are here to have fun, relax and enjoy ourselves.

But. If someone wants that the others correct his or her spelling (for some reason), say so in this topic.

I've been living in the USA for 6 years. I can tell, a lot of americans do not know how to spell. It is important though that the others understand you.

This is the site, where you can check your spelling. (You also can spellcheck in your Word programm, if you'd like to).

Here's a couple of the dictionary links that I use a lot:
Lingvo - online Russian-English dictionary.
Encarta distionary - it gives the meaning of the word in English. Also, it has an ability to listen to the word pronunciation.

I don't check my spelling, except for some words. So I probably make a lot of mistakes. If you see my mistakes, and would like to tell me about them - please do, as a separate post in the topic, or as a comment to the post with the mistakes.

What do you say?

A professor from my university (Moscow State Linguistic University) strongly recommended Multitran as an online multilanguage dictionary (Eng | Deu | Fra | Esp | Ned | Ita | Jap | Ees | Latv).

so do i!
please tell me about my mistakes if you find it.

I would like to offer that the rules of grammar, syntax, and other mistakes should be explained and corrected in Russian. This is, I think, a common rule for all teachers, and it helps their students learn and remember these rules better.

Тигренок
по содержанию не знаю, лучше ли объяснять по-русски, а вот по форме... :

в данном случае корректно употребить SUGGEST, ибо OFFER подразумевает что-то конкретное - чашку кофе, сапоги, плащ, помощь, на худой конец, плюс если ты говоришь OFFER, это подразумевает, что... инициатива наказуема в смысле сама предложила - сама сделала
OFFER STH / TO DO STH
для продвижения идей используется SUGGEST (ты предлагаешь - я/он(а)/мы делаем)
SUGGEST THAT SB (SHOULD) DO STH (в смысле should можно опускать, но по-моему, это более официально по стилю, если я не ошибаюсь)

для закрепления тебе партзадание - по 3 примера на каждое слово

Well, Katrin, it IS possible to say: I would like to offer my comments on the topic, or I would like to offer an additional thought on this matter... Right?

In our case 'my comments' or 'an additional thought' is 'the rules of grammar, syntax, and other mistakes should be explained and corrected in Russian'. Тигренок just replaced the words 'my comments' and 'an additional thought' with the comments, that's it.

Besides, 'PARTZADANIE' is not an interesting game. In fact, it's boring. Would you offer us another one, which is more fun?
