    To me "gorgeous" has a shade of vulgarity, it's more like "роскошная, шикарная".

    Man you're totally wrong. There's nothing vulgar about the G word :)

    Maybe vulgarity is not the right word, but 'a beautiful woman' sounds way more decent than 'a gorgeous woman'. Then again, it's only a version.

    Well, I bet your significant other will never be offended if you say, "you look just gorgeous."

    All it is about – is a degree of positive impression.

    That's it! It takes a certain level of personal closeness for 'gorgeous' to be appropriate. Whereas 'beautiful' is more abstract, it can be applied universally.

    CruZer, What do you mean? Podcasts are distributed for free via iTunes store. Download iTunes s/w, click on Podacasts, and – voila. You can also purchase the latest movies in SD or HD there, too. Remember, piracy (or how else you call the copyright infringement) is bad, don't make illegal copies of your video collection unless you create a film yourself or a film doesn't have a copyright warning on it (good luck with finding those).

    BTW, why don't you watch this forum? If I were you, I actually would.

    P.S. Don't send me a PM back, write in the forum thread instead.

    Podcasts - it's a different kind of audio tracks with english speech ... here is what I mean. When I will be live America I will think of what you said about copyrights... but now I living in Belarus :)

    CruZer, Weren't that you who wrote

    Maybe somebody have Video Films (English, without translation on russian) ..or podcasts

    ?

    Did I get you wrong? And my anwer was: iTunes. It's free to get hundreds of podcasts over there.

    And of course, it's totally up to you what you're doing. I have really no idea how serious the Belarusian law enforcement agencies are taking the international copyright laws today.

    Of what I've recalled, you can watch Michael Moore's films for free on his-web-site MichaelMoore (dot) com

    Copyright protection and Belarus exist in different realms.

    Speaking of movies, one of the most delicious from the linguistic point is 'V for vendetta'. It gives me oh so great a pleasure, this film does!

    Oh I see...

    'V for vendetta'

    I've never made a linguistic analysis of this movie's script, I'm not a linguist by all means, but I really like it.

    Hi guys,

    It was my first topic which I added to my onliner's bookmarks.

    I live in the USA more than four years, my English is not so bad, but far from native speakers.

    Some people knows English better than me in this topic, someone does not.

    It's so funny to read some posts for me. :D

    Go ahead.

    Basta dargli un occhiata per capire tutto. Каб любiць, Беларусь, нашу мiлую маму, трэба ў розных краях пабываць.

    w_f, it's good idea to make the topic of our discussion because everybody speeks about different things & as a result- the topic is about nothing. For instance, today we are chatting about wheather :D Look at the window... I hope you've seen the bright shining sun, the clear blue sky, plenty of nice girls in the unreal bikini... If not - aren't be disappointed... everything is leaving away and this annoying rain as well...

    Boring is as boring does.

    Discussion trends? Well, obviously we can't talk about politics, religion, or anything too personal. Which leaves us current affairs, cultural phenomenons, and consumeristic stuff. All of these are quite abundantly presented in the never-ending multiplicity of the forum topics. It is but natural that people prefer to discuss a subject in the corresponding place and in their native language too, so, we hardly can expect onlineers to repeat here what they already have said elsewhere. All in all, I see only two remaining possibilities. The first one is, we shall continue the kind of free talk we have had until now, touching whatever minute issues of the spheres listed above may come up as the chatting goes. Which is consistent with the idea of a conversationalist pub.The second one, and this one more in the philological line, is to make English the language our primary subject: how we learn it, how we use it, or the ways to enjoy it, finer points of it and how to put right this or that, in short, practical English usage as it's seen by the Onglishmen. I know it does not sound extraordinary entertaining, both of the propositions, but with the blessing of certain Saints and our own shining wits, why, we can well make a helluva funny topic and have some very good times here, so we can!

    PS i am lacking severely an opportunity to speak, hence my garrulity, sorry
