Hello there! As some woman said, "Some men are slow but sure. The others are just slow". I hope that I belong to the first category. Actually, what I am trying to say is that I have just uploaded one more new page - Funny Quotations About Men. All testers are welcome to visit http://www.eclecticengl...

Hello everyone! I've just decided to put an announcement here saying that from 2 October the club sessions at the International House, Kharkiv are resumed. Today, for example, we did some quite nice stuff on "cyber crime". Still I wish I had seen more familiar faces from last year. Perhaps more peop...

Hello Guest! Nice to see you here. The sentence is not quite right. First, "best" here is the superlative form of "well", which is an adverb. Thus you cannot have "the" before it. We put "the" before superlative forms of adjectives. Here are a few examples that Longman gives: It works best if you le...

Hello there, There are finally two new pages with the new design uploaded on the site. Murphy's Laws http://www.eclecticenglish.com/skills/murphy_laws/murphy_laws.shtml http://www.eclecticenglish.com/skills/murphy_laws/murphy_laws_answers.shtml Oscar Wilde Funny Quotations http://www.eclecticenglish...

Hello Sergey! I like your idea very much. I will also try to think how to implement it nicely. The new design features "includes", and it is really neatly made. Unfortunately it has taken much longer than I anticipated. Luckily, all the parts that I couldn't do myself are ready. It just needs a few ...

Hello Sergey, I checked with my fully licensed Microsoft Word and found out that you were absolutely right!!! What a nice surprise! Actually, I don't remember updating my Microsoft Word files, but I do download Microsoft Windows updates regularly. Clearly, sometimes you need to have a comma before "...

Hello!

Yet another joke for you!

A: What do you call a deer with no eyes?
B: No idea.

Scroll down to see the hint.

Hello, I was proofing one doc when I bumped into this phrase: Risk analysis is a proactive planning function that is performed for the purpose of identifying and rating risk factors , which could compromise the success of the project. It looks that the author should have some practice of defining / ...

Hi! Talking about difficult words. A friend of mine has recently attended a lesson done by Igor Illyin who did a talk on how to memorize challenging and rarely used words. I wrote them down and intend to have some kind of posting to the ESL Mailing List http://www.esl.com.ua/ and Eclectic English bo...

Hello again, Apparently, Igor Illyin is having a good time somewhere away from Kharkov with Zheleznov, who came for some time to Kharkov from Canada. As far as I know Igor should be back on Monday evening, so you will have your very first class with him either on Monday or on Friday. Be prepared for...

Hello Sergey! I am glad you liked it. Here is another little joke for such a "starter" as you. :) - I love you. - I love you too. - I love you three. A little hint if case someone doesn't get it: two & too are pronounced the same in English. Best regards, Nikita Kovalyov http://www.eclecticengli...

Hello, Since because for no particular reason this part of the Eclectic English forum seems to be the most deserted, I assume that all guys who come sometimes to the website have quite good command of English. Then I think I could start posting quite simple English jokes here. Everybody welcome to c...

Hello Sergey, It is a shame that I didn't see you. Never mind, I will try hard to look around on Friday. What group are you studying in? Who is your new teacher? I intend to resume my club as soon as the clubs are back at ih. But they might not resume clubs at all, because they say that not so many ...

Hello Sergey, I think that I have no chance of finding it in Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, but I will try to look it up when I am at ih (this Friday). But I think it must be the same way as "Dothan" in Alabama, which according to http://www.angelfire.com/journal2/SouthernGrit/USA_Drifters/ is pr...

Hello Sergey, Actually I am clueless. But I will either try to reach Paul by icq tonight or I will try to ask Dave or John at the International House. All their comments will be published here. PS Sometimes I could be fun to learn some wacky words that actually are pretty useless. :) Best regards, N...
