   Hi, Gleb Hlebov! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 24.11.2023 08:34   
      
    ak>> A Russianman (muzhik) thoought out what to do to preserve his   
    ak>> tomatoes,he grew at his ddacha, from thievs..   
    GH> ak I beliee the punctuatioon is not well here. 2 commas too   
    GH> many. :-)   
      
   You, IMHO, just to used to reading social networks where people don't use   
   commas at all. :) But, according the rules, an additional information which is   
   not essential for understanding is marked by commas.   
   Well, I also often ignore this rule. ;)   
      
    GH> May I put t that way so thhat it would look more "digestible"?   
    GH> "Russian dtchnik contrivedd how to protect his tomatoes from theft"   
      
   Well, digestion depends on food habits. ;) And, BTW, where have you found   
   "datchnik" in English dictionaries?   
      
    ak>> And he wrte on his fence  this announcement:   
    GH> "He postedthe following annnouncement on his fence: "   
      
   Well, but IMHO people write words on the fences, not post them. ;-)   
      
    ak>> "One of m tomatoes is poiisoned!" Next day he sees an   
    ak>> addition: "Now there are two".   
    GH> "Next day he saw a line was added"   
      
   "Next day he saw a line had been added" ;)   
      
    GH> All in all seems like a trrue story though. --)   
      
   "it seems"?   
      
   Bye, Gleb!
