Diversion...(in Russian)

[alexpgp]

Давно не пишу на русском. Ясно почему. На самом деле - как уж всем наверника известно - мне трудно с правописанием и с морфологий (то есть, с грамматикой). Добавить к этому тот факт, что я выражаюсь как американец (и как мне иначе?), и получается: я пишу только чушь бездарный.

Таким образом, надо задать вопрос... стоит ли мне это делать? С одной стороны, хочу научиться писать (ну, может быть не так как я пишу на английском, но хоть грамотно); с другой, трудно это делать самому... время мало.

Завтра могу поспать утром. Работа начинается в 12, и так как Союз уже отстыковался от МКС, так разумеется что радиограммок для экипажа Союза точно не будет.

Пора мне лечь спать.

* * *I haven't written anything in Russian in a long time. It's easy to see why. In fact - as is certainly known to everyone - I have a problem with spelling and morphology (that is, with grammar). Add to this the fact that I express myself like an American (how else?), and the end result is talentless crap.

So, the question must be asked... is this worth it? On the one hand, I want to learn to write (well, maybe not the way I write in English, but at least correctly); on the other hand, it's hard to do it yourself... there's little time.

Tomorrow, I can sleep in. Work starts at 12, and since the Soyuz has already undocked from the ISS, it follows that there most certainly will be no radiograms for the Soyuz crew.

Time to go to bed.

Cheers...

Now I remember why I haven't even tried to write in Russian for... ummm must be nearly 20 years. Much too much like hard work. Looked fine to me, but then my grammar's lousy.

I have glorious memories, during the Institute of Linguists Diploma well over 20 years ago, of being informed we were going to learn to type in Russian. Oh yeah? Uh-huh.

Remember IBM golf ball typewriters? Yup, those. Yes, there was a keyboard chart for the (UK) keyboard. Sure. Just one problem - they'd ordered the wrong golf balls, and we had in fact received Bulgarian ones, which weren't *quite* the same. Much scratching of heads ensued.

Several weeks later, the real ones arrived. It was a blast. I mean... we were four Russian graduates already required to learn technical Russian from an East GERMAN text book, so this was R&R. Playtime.

It didn't last long, sadly, as we were supposed to be basically learning to translate FROM Russian (as one does, but the world will never understand the 'mother tongue thing, right?) and the Powers that Be sent us back to dashing off 'please forward three multi-bucket excavators forthwith' and such.

Question: I'm still working with the ancient, smelly, dark blue dictionaries from the stone age (bet you know which ones I mean) and very short of decent technical dictionaries. Any recommendations? I have superb technical dictionaries on wine and electronics in German, plus some good glossaries but specific subjects (crime, sport), but not something on industry in general.

Весьма недурно написано!
Всего две орфографических ошибки, две морфологических (не тот род и падеж) да пара недостающих запятых.
Но стилистика русской разговорной речи вполне выдержана. Не это ли главное?
Таким образом, надо задать вопрос... стоит ли мне это делать?
Вне всяческого сомнения, Алекс!:-)
