ella,
Because of time zone differences, Starling was unable to respond in the previous thread due to it being closed out.
He may well be too much of a gentleman to post the response here, but being too much of a gentleman has never been one of my strong points and I also benefit from being in a time zone @ the opposite side of the Earth, so I will go ahead and post this, hoping we may all benefit from your response:

“cjm, Iran is not nearing total economic collapse, its economy is not good, but it seems far from collapse you are talking about.

Russia is not dying, too. Well, perhaps its birth rate is terribly low but it is not equal to overall dying. Stars are red, not white – just look at china. As for position to help or not to help – no one is going to help russia, on the other hand no one is going to make war on russia, particularly not European Union. I have feeling that you read too much of …… propaganda. Reading propaganda is not bad, on the other hand there is a thing like too much of a good stuff.”

One of the biggest challenges in learning other languages is that they can differ so markedly from one another in their grammatical structures.
One the most noticeable grammatical differences between the Russian and English languages is the lack of (in)definite articles (a, an, and the) in the former. This is why it is common for Russians speaking English to omit them from their writing and speech of English, as “ella” has done repeatedly above. Most native English speakers, as well as any other proficient ESL speaker, will easily spot from 3-5 articles that were omitted in “ella’s” 7-sentence (and poorly punctuated) post. That’s a very high error rate for a native English speaker. And given that the errors are characteristically Russian, I’d say Konyok was correct to suggest “ella” is one.

PS: “ella”, the stars in the Chinese flag are yellow.

FYI: google these four terms together- “article” “indefinite” “definite” and “Russian” – for some discussion about the role of articles in translating between Russian and English.
