This is very mysterious. Did you accidentally reveal the location of the train of WW2 era loot that's supposed to be stashed under a polish mountain? Anastasia Romanov's cover identity? How to distill faerie magic from dew?

You can trust us.

I want to say that I don't appreciate "jokes" like this:

I find this offensive (and disgusting as well).
If you (anyone) dislike me because of my nationality or the country I live in, or any other unknown to me reasons, please, in the future ignore me, my comments, my log.
Thank you.

Aaleks there was no offence intended there, and I don't see what could offend you.

But clearly I've upset you, and I apologise for that. It was unintentional.

I keep reading the blog about British-American English differences I've mention before. Among other things, that helps me to be less afraid of making mistakes.
Also I've watched a couple of lectures from The Polyglot Gathering.

Britain and America, two countries separated by a common language. :)
