Hello dear experts! I want to ask you some questions (sorry, in English ;-)). What dialect of English language do you prefer? Is it American or UK? And what the reason of your view? The American dialect has deeper "R", thus it's a simplest way to break a tongue :-). I like it anyway! The UK dialect is softer and more understandable for me. What you think about it? May I use abbreviations in official letters (like "ain't", "wanna", "gotta" etc.) or it is a bad style? Thank you for answer back (in English, please). I wish you merry holydays (and don't be too drunk... as the liver is not eternal!). P.S. please tell me if it something wrong with syntax or grammar in my post because of lacking of experience. |

| Отвечает: Romodos Hello, $ham! Thank you for your question. First of all, you should put a comma after the word "hello". Personally, I prefer British English (but sometimes I can use American) Expressions like like "ain't", "wanna", "gotta" MAY NOT be used in official letters. It's informal words, slang! British English is more logical, more understandable. American English is language of streets. If I have a choice I choose Brithish Sincerely yours, romodos --------- FAQ me off! |

| Отвечает: REFERI Hi, $ham! I can not tell you something important about dialect cause I do not use english in my every day life... But I like American Style cause it is used more widely :) Don't use abbreviations (such as "ain't", "wanna", "gotta") in official letters. It's a bad style. This words just simulates a colloquial pronuciation (имитирует разговорное произношение - т.е. это даже не разговорная лексика, а ее имитация). But there is another question - what do you mean by "Official"? Each person perceives it differently. For example in circulation to us you may use colloquial lexicon... But in circulation to the president it is a wrong way... You broken angel... --------- Не судите, да не судимы будете... |

Official thing (== formal), is absolutely the same thing everywhere, even in AFRICA... and my brains is not exception... |
| Отвечает: zer0access My greetings to you, $ham! Your question is incorrect, as American English and British English are not dialects. They are two variants of one language - Enlish. However, some linguists say that they are even two different languages. Both of them have dialects. For example, in USA they have Sicilian, Munsee and many other dialects. As for me, I can not choose between American and British English, as I first studied US variant and then UK. To my mind, US English is better in communication and UK English is better in written form. In official letter you _mus not_ use such words and abbreviated forms of them, because it is impolite. Finally, about your mistakes: 1. liver -> live? 2. if it _is_ something wrong 3. not "lacking of experience", but "lack of experience" 4. "don't be too drunk", better to say "don't drink too much" 4. learn grammar ;) --------- feel the texture... of nature... |

| Отвечает: Владимир Безносов Greetings, $ham! 1. UK English and U.S. English are variants of one language, not dialects (bow to zer0access :)). 2. I prefer British English, because it's more exquisite, more polished. And also because I like British sense of humour :) 3. The abbreviations you mentioned belong to lexical layer of slang, so you CANNOT use them in official (formal) letters, since it's abusive. Even abbreviations which are not considered as slang must not be used in formal style. 4. As for mistakes... What DO you think about it? - don't omit the auxiliary verb ...if it was something wrong - again you lose the auxiliary verb and also miss sequence of tenses. "lacking of experience" is incorrect, you cannot use verbal noun this way. Correct variant is "lack of experience". Good luck and Happy New Year! P.S. Why do you ask the experts write to you in English,while you are Russian? |
