   Hello Alexander,   
      
    Alexander Koryagin <2:221/6> vs. me:   
      
    AK>>> Fido does't not take muchh time, does it? Well, sometimes we   
    AK>>> have a lot of ork at our jobs.. I have it now.   
    GH>> takes a ot of time actuaally. Composing a message takes up to   
    GH>> 15- 20 min. onthe average, beccause it's not your despicable   
    GH>> nonsensica one-liner twitss or witless youtube comments.   
    AK> Fido messages in this sense are more noble than Twitter ones. ;-)   
      
   "More noble?" It's a whole different universe, to say the least. :-)   
   As far as "nobility" is concerned, here's what the guy who owns it   
   (um... what's his name again, I keep forgetting) is saying in one of   
   his recent "tweets":   
      
   ========   
       X is the only platform you can trust for honest information.   
       All the others are bought and paid for.   
   ========   
      
   Not sure if you can put Fidonet among "all the others" though, or if   
   it even is a platform for anything.   
      
    AK>>> ChatGPT i right -- indeedd you cannot find this word in English   
    AK>>> dictionary.   
    GH>> Does it mater? Languages ttend to progress and develop.   
    GH>> Dictionaris just don't cattch up with the current state. Equally,   
    GH>> there are o words "devotchhka" or "khorosho" in English dicts as   
    GH>> well, but hat didn't stop  A. Burgess from employing them for his

    G>>> https://www.rbth.com/education/326453-russia-words-from-clockwork   
    G>>> -orange   
    AK> I suspect he explained these words, nevertheless?   
      
   I believe he didn't.   
   Some reviewers and critics did it afterwards, as presented in the   
   linked article.   
      
   ========   
       The book, narrated by Alex, contains many words in a slang argot   
       which Burgess invented for the book, called Nadsat. It is a mix   
       of modified Slavic words, cockney rhyming slang and derived   
       Russian. [...] In the first edition of the book, no key was   
       provided, and the reader was left to interpret the meaning from   
       the context. (wikipedia.org)   
   ========   
      
    GH>>>> Nonethels you have no seeccond thoughts about "muzhik"? :-) I   
    AK>>> In my mesage "muzhik" wass after its English definition. Just   
    AK>>> for fun.....A Russian man (muzhik)...   
    GH>> It's like aying "a US Westt-coast guy (dude). Might look   
    GH>> ridiculous to some. :-)   
    AK> Fun is a great thing. Even a little one.   
      
   Absolutely. I happen to forget about it at times. (-:
