Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
    DM>  What subj is mean?   
         |What does the subject line mean?   
         |What is the meaning of the words in the subject line?   
      
      
              I've seen other Russians ask questions this way too.  You guys   
   don't realize, I suppose, that with the antique Fidonet message editor   
   programs a lot of North Americans are using the message headers drop out of   
   sight while one is actively writing a reply.  It's easier for us if the words   
   you are asking about also appear in the main part of your message, because we   
   can quote exactly what you said without having to remember & reproduce the   
   details of how you said it.   
      
      
              This message is a wonderful example of why you should make the   
   added effort to retype 9-10 characters in a foreign language where you may   
   have hoped you could get away with less.  The subject line says "Good   
   luck!"... but in the paragraph below you are asking about "look(s)".  Now it's   
   unclear to me whether or not you realize "luck" and "look" are different   
   words.  If you are confusing them and the subject line has disappeared, others   
   may not realize that....  :-)   
      
      
      
    DM>  And   
    DM>  2) Good look   
    DM>  or   
    DM>  Good looks   
    DM>  is correct.   
      
      
              Depends on the context.  See below....  :-)   
      
      
      
    DM>  Please answer with examples.   
      
      
          1)  Good luck!   
      
      
              I'm hoping that fortune will smile on you, that you'll be   
   successful in doing whatever you've just mentioned as very important to you.   
      
      
      
          2)  good look   
      
      
              If Dallas is trying to read the serial number on a piece of   
   computer hardware, he may say "Take a good look right there.  Is that a 0 or   
   an 8?"  :-)   
      
      
      
          3)  good looks   
      
      
              Usually a reference to someone's physical appearance.  When Dallas   
   & I go to a restaurant where all the waitresses wear high heels and short   
   skirts, and where the management advertises openly that they like energetic   
   extroverts, we may say to each other that various (male or female) employees   
   were obviously hired for their personality and good looks rather than their   
   competence.  Since we've both worked in the business, we attach a higher value   
   to competence.  ;-)
