Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Anatoliy Kovalenko:   
      
   ak> "Re: Program Quoter - you are very welcomed"   
      
      
              "You're welcome" is a standard reply in English when somebody has   
   said "Thankyou".  In this case "welcome" functions as an adjective.  Another   
   example:  "You're welcome to ask about anything you didn't understand here."   
      
              The same word is also used as a noun... e.g. "Ivan gave us a warm   
   welcome when we arrived on his doorstep unexpectedly."   
      
              The same word is also used as a verb... e.g. "Ivan and his family   
   welcomed us to their home."  Because participles are often used with linking   
   verbs in English (e.g. "I'm delighted to hear that!")  I understood what you   
   meant, but it's not quite what native speakers of English are accustomed to.   
      
      
      
   ak> But I strongly doubt that you always make your windows so wide to be   
   ak> able to write 120 symbol lines.   
      
      
              I'd say "so wide as to be able".   
      
      
      
   ak>  We   
   ak> used it in books and etc.   
      
      
              Since "et cetera" means "and the rest" in Latin & in English, the   
   addition of another "and" is redundant.   
      
              Many native speakers make the same error....  :-)
