    http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/

    This two page Pravda article by Stanislav Mishin offers opinion not often heard, other than Vladimir Putin’s surprising warning 2 months past.

    If his projections prove true and present directions are un-altered, we will be granted the viewing of a most marvellous experiment played out on world’s stage in real life terms.

    Question is: Is S. Mishin's analysis correct?

    I stopped reading after the first sentence had a spelling mistake.

    In that page, I found this link to another article there on Pravda.ru:
    http://www.funreports.com/fun/18-03-2005/1188-0

    Very cool.

    How nice of you to be the self appointed “grammar lord.”

    Let’s take a quick look at a few of your offerings, none of which had to stand the strain of translation from Russian.

    Those are forum posts, not supposed newspaper articles. But I'm sure you prefer to read the political analysis of a journal who is renowned for its description of alien sightings and paranormal events than my own humble posts.

    Question: Do you think it's a coincidence that an article that you find interesting happens to be in pravda.ru?

    can you post another link or a pdf or a cut and paste please, because
    http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/ just comes up as an interrupted page link error in FireFox.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa

    Is this about American corruption (ahem, excuse me, capitalism), or the relative uses of commas in each other's posts?

    It's about McSwain trying to woo us with what he sees as his maverick fibs-with-a-purpose and daring out-of-the-box mischiefthink.

    Your sentence structure, "Very cool." seems to be wrong to me. I don't think I will be looking at Pravada until it is corected.

    If it comes from Pravda you can pretty much assume it is bull $hit.

    Compare a few articles from each publication and come back to me.
