Feedback / Why are people who can't be bothered to register allowed to post or start new threads? [50]


I would guess there are teachers doing very well in Warsaw, but there are bound to be others not doing so well as expected. I'm thinking about the ones who come on here, with a 4 week course behind them, asking about extra work and charging low fees. Don't you think when their money runs out, they would be desperate enough to to do any job to stop themselves from starving? Warsaw is a big city, do you really know everyone who calls themselves an English teacher there?

How can you be so sure that this has never happened? What do we do with posters who claim that most Americans live in their parents basements, or start calling members by other names in the public forums? Should we ban them too?

Feedback / Editing time too short (5 minutes currently) [60]


Threads and posts might not look very pretty if this were allowed, besides some posters often put their hands up to an earlier error (if it was the opposite to what they meant) in a later post. Most errors occur when posters rush their posts, without previewing, and we're all guilty of this at some time.

It's up to the poster to make sure their post is correct before sending, hence the preview button. This is the same situation with emails, edit before sending, as you won't be able to edit afterwards.

The main reason why editing time is short (5 minutes should be ample) is because as someone else pointed out, many rouge posters would change their posts and deny that they wrote something else.

But is there not time to read it and check, before pressing 'post'?

There is a preview button, that you can view your post before hitting ' post message' and you can take as long as you wish.


The site is very easy on the eye(s) and also for this reason, it loads faster than 95% of all other websites. The old adage ' you can't have your cake and eat it ' springs to mind.

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]

They use Royal mail and others for delivery, but have their own distribution centres, amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=2610312031 or as they call them 'Fulfilment Centres' similar to the ones in the USA

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]


If this is going to be the case, then they're still going to need warehouses in the UK as distributing centres, like they have today, so nothing much will change here. I can't imagine them sending a plane from Poland for a £ 7. 99 book because an UK customer has paid a couple of extra quid for next day delivery.

Life / Amazon stops super saver delivery on orders to Poland [40]

There is probably a small percentage of people in the UK asking for things to be shipped from Amazon warehouses in Poland, Amazon UK can provide this, next day if required. Incidentally, recently they have also stopped the 'free standard delivery' for items under £9.99 for UK customers.

They are a reputable company, I would hardly think they would make a mistake like that. It would be a lot of unnecessary trouble for them, if costumers keep sending them back because they weren't 'as described'.

Language / A little Polish grammar. Masculine, animate objects. [64]


In this instant yes, but there is more to it. Verbs are words that express action, and the endings of the verb varies according to who is doing the action. The infinitive form of the verb mówić (to speak) is the one you'll find in a dictionary. Mówić belongs to a certain group of verbs (there are 3 other main groups) and the endings will change for each person(s) as follows:

singular
mówię - I speak
mówisz - you speak
on/ona/ono mówi - he/she/ it speaks

plural

mówimy - we speak
mówicie - you speak
oni/one mówią - they speak ( men only or at least one woman in the group/ women only and everything else.

You can use mówisz with friends and family, people your own age and children, but with someone older it's best to use the polite form pan/panie with the 3rd person form of the verb mówi. I don't want to dishearten you but, the above examples are the present tense of the verb Mówić, and there will also be changes for the future, past, conditional and imperative tenses too.


'po' is used in the location and accusative cases as well, depending on whether it's location or motion. If you want to inform someone, that you can speak one of the following languages, polski, angielski, hiszpański francuski (Polish, English, Spanish and French) you replace the ending -ki with -ku and place the preposition 'po' in front, mówię po polsku, mówię po angielsku, mówię po hiszańsku and mówię po francusku. Names of languages are spelt with small letters.

Because it's the second person singular (Informal), the other two are 3rd person singular (formal)


But the sz is added in jak się masz second person (informal).

szczecinianin, I think it would be a good idea, when posting a link to your blog/newspaper, to also provide a link to the media source where the original article came from. Please do this in your first post when starting a new thread.

UK, Ireland / Mentally ill people in British society [55]


You make it sound like the UK has a plague of mentally ill people roaming the streets like zombies. How do you know that these people are all mentally ill, and not some drug addicts or alcoholics? There are mentally ill people in my city too, but they stay in residential homes and and looked after by carers. If they have go out onto the streets there is also a carer with them at all times, so they are no risk to society. Perhaps you just watch too many zombie movies?
