I'm with Larry, Vytenis - your diagnosis of "Lithuanian with English words" simply doesn't pan out. Feel dissatisfied by all means, but the clarity and precision of your writing on this forum would put a very large minority, if not a majority, of native English speakers to shame. :!: :!:

Thanks a lot to both of you for your compliments. English is my job, so I have to keep on improving it. In any case, I am not so much interested in discussing how bad or how good I am at written English, but sometimes there are some practical problems that keep cropping up. Especially when I have to translate from Lithuanian into English. That's when I find it the most frustrating...
