  • Если вдруг сюда забредёт чайник с потугами "глубоко" выучить English - знайте: первое, главное и вечное правило - НИКОГДА НЕ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАТЬ ИДИОМ, СРАВНЕНИЙ, МЕТАФОР, ПОСЛОВИЦ, ПОГОВОРОК и прочих изысков. Только краткий рубленый прямолинейный язык и уже давно с мощным упрощением спряжений и грамматики.
