The whole discussion is even worse than unlamented Patricia
flamewar. I thought there could not be anything more pointless,
but there is! There is a *spelling flamewar*
on soviet discussion list where every second article
is a hideous display of butchered English (mine included).
Note that the spelling and grammar of the initiator of the 
discussion remain more to be desired than his opponent's
(this time Garik Didinsky).

Ever read "Obryv"? Sure no :) The disregard to what "intelligent"
was wearing was a norm for "intelligents". Accurate clothing are a
myth. Katkov in his magazine criticized "nihilists" 
(the slur for "intelligentsia" this time) for disrespect to
clothing. If you don't know anything about the issue, please
stop whining. Better consult with Mikh. Trofimych.
Asides from his obviously genuine intelligence 
you both have a lot in common, you know :)

What proves quite opposite - result or example? Both?
Grammar is unclear, but the idea is excellent. 
Hope it was true... but no no, it is not. 
Explanation why on demand.

>Should I explain more?

Sure. For instance, I would like you to explain why
a person who does lot of grammar errors can find
himself participating in a stupid spelling flamewar
and how he feels in this condition. 
And what is the difference between the raven
and computer terminal. (A lame idea what:

they both *rave*!)

Igor Ph.D. poor boy do you have a glass beard? An interesting
feature indeed! How it come to happen? Someone drop you
when you was small? Oh, I am so intelligent person, I know!
When you was small you ate too much glass beads and now
they are growing on your face! Hope my children will
keep away from glass beads. When I come home, I will
take all beads and throw them away! Even the coral ones.
Imagine what will happen if they eat a *coral* bead?
