What connotations do the words “now” and “now” have and what is the difference between them? What is the correct way to use these words in everyday communication?
This question was asked to me by an American studying Russian, and I found it very interesting. It's interesting to know your opinion and how different it is from mine.
Thank you!

Still, I’ll ask again about the pronouns “You”, “You”, “You”.
I read your review on this matter:
http://www.gramota.ru/spravka/letters/?rub=rubric_88.
And yet, it is not clear whether it is possible to capitalize the pronoun “You” in the news of a software company and in documentation for software products if the address is to an unidentified user of the company’s software products, whom the company greatly respects.
Those. Can we consider that the appeal is going to one person, the one who is currently reading the document?
Those. in this case, the person to whom the appeal is made is determined at the moment this person reads the document, and not at the moment the document is written by its author, but because this person is alone at the time of reading, and the address is addressed specifically to him, then perhaps in this case it is possible to use the pronoun “You” and others with a capital letter?
Are such arguments logical?

| Question No. 239096 | ||
I found the word “come in handy” in the dictionary, but if we talk about the action “at the moment,” then it seems to me that the form “come in handy” cannot be correct. Is it so? And how to correctly say the phrase “Now this book is very... (useful?)”?
Russian help desk response
Correctly: Now I really need this book or Now (=soon) this book will be very useful to me.
| Question No. 237200 | ||

Hello! I work as a proofreader in a printing house and my colleague and I sometimes cannot come to a common opinion. At the moment I am interested in the following question: I know that lard is both “fat” and “spy”, but sometimes labels contain the spelling “shpiG”, in such cases I correct it to “lard”, and a colleague says that “spig” can also be left, but I looked in different dictionaries, including on your website, the word “spig” is not there. I cannot take upon myself the courage to use “spig” instead of “spik”, because this word is not found in authoritative publications. Please tell me whether both options have a right to exist?
Russian help desk response
Correct option: _lard_. This spelling is recorded by the most authoritative spelling dictionary of the Russian language today - “Russian Spelling Dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, ed. V.V. Lopatina.

Hello. 5 years ago the word geocaching came into the Russian language - borrowing from in English(geocaching). At the moment, approximately 60% of people spell this word with E (geokEshing), the remaining 40% - with E (geokEshing). I would like to eliminate the confusion in the spelling of this word (and start with Wikipedia, for example). I understand that some borrowed common nouns may be spelled with an "E". Some highly specialized words are also written with an “E” - they are defined in the spelling dictionary. The word "geocaching" is relatively new; it is not in spelling dictionaries. I note that the adjective “geocacher”, the nouns “geocacher”, “cache”, and the verbs “cache”, “cache” are widely used. What is the correct way to write the word geokeshing? Thank you in advance.
Russian help desk response
We recommend using E (by analogy with _cache memory_).

I couldn't find an explanation of how to write foreign proper names in Russian. The specific example I am currently interested in is the name of the Ruler of the Faithful, Imam ‘Ali ibn Abu Talib. There are so many variants of its spelling on the Internet that it’s simply amazing what kind of imagination people have...

Please tell me if commas are needed here / if so, why / - A thread of yarn (,) of a color not currently used (,) is left free or pulled on the wrong side, but no more (,) through four loops. Thank you.

Commas in both cases are not needed: _A thread of yarn of a color not currently being used is left free or pulled on the wrong side, but through no more than four loops._
It is very important to give yourself fully to the current moment, and not wait for the next one to come. You need to be completely immersed and enjoy what is happening at the present moment.
Mountains of bills are growing before your eyes, and you have no idea how you will pay them. Your mother has Alzheimer's, and caring for her sucks the life out of you. You begin to doubt that anyone even cares about you. But it is at this moment that your heart beats, you breathe, you are not hungry and you have a roof over your head. Under all circumstances, desires and requirements, everything is fine with you. At that moment when you are preparing dinner, or buying groceries at the store, or driving to work, or reading the mail - stop and in the very moment in which you are, remind your consciousness: right now everything is fine with me.
Over time and repetition, the habit of being in the present and quieting your mind will actually change the neural connections in your brain - a special process called neuroplasticity - and it will become your norm.
Life always happens now.
Take a break from your thoughts more often - get carried away by the moment...
And no matter what happens to us TOMORROW...
We have TODAY and NOW in stock! ツ
You are where your thoughts are.
Make sure your thoughts are where you want to be.
And this moment is only yours!
Make it the way you really want!
Live every moment because it cannot be repeated. Appreciate it while it lasts, before it flashes by and disappears forever. Live here and now, appreciate the ordinary minutes of life.
The time for happiness is now.
There are people who think that somewhere is better than here...
There are people who think that it once was or will be better than now...
But there are people who feel good here and now, while others are thinking! :)
If I am not able to happily wash the dishes, if I want to get them over with quickly so I can go have a cup of tea, then I will also be unable to happily drink the tea itself. With a cup in my hands, I will think about what to do next, and the taste and aroma of tea, along with the pleasure of drinking it, will be forgotten. I will always be languishing in the future and will never be able to live in the present moment...
Thich Nhat Hanh
There are moments in which a person does not think about anything, does not reflect, does not evaluate, but there are not many of them. We call these moments happy. This is the moment when you completely remain where your body is, stay here. This is a feeling of happiness, a state of love, peace.
We are always looking forward to something: weekends, vacations, vacations. We dream of this day after day, overwhelmed with books and work, making plans and thinking about what we could do if we had free time now. And we want this. Unfortunately, this is another “if only” that you definitely need to get rid of in your life. When the long-awaited days of freedom come, desires and plans to do something disappear, and if there is strength to do something, it is certainly not to the same extent and not with such zeal as we imagined it when we were busy. When there is a lot of something, we stop noticing and appreciating it. And over time it’s better not to joke. Friendship with him already costs us dearly. You need to try to allocate more time for your desires, appreciate it, use it wisely. Find your favorite activities and places, create your own days and evenings, and more good things will happen...
The mind came up with the idea of dividing life into past, present and future, but this division is completely artificial. The past and future are thought forms, an illusion, a mental abstraction. You can remember the past only in this Moment. The event that you remember happened at this Moment, and you also remember it at this Moment. The future, when it comes, comes in this Moment. So the only thing that is real, the only thing that is always there, is the present Moment.
Eckhart Tolle "What Silence Says"
Now - good time to forgive...
Now is a good time to love yourself...
Now is a good time to allow yourself to live easier...
Life is here and now, not tomorrow and then.
What you did a minute ago or yesterday
or within the last six months,
or the last sixteen years,
or the last fifty years -
does not mean anything.
What really matters is
what are you doing right now.
There is something great in every minute. For example, happiness...
Live in the present day, every day, as if it might end at sunset.
Many people wait all week for Friday, the whole month of the holiday, the whole year of summer, and all their lives for happiness. But you need to rejoice in every day and enjoy every moment.
IN EVERY MOMENT
I find heaven in every place, I see good in every situation, love in every person.
In fact, all you need to do is fully accept this moment. Then you are at peace with the here and now and at peace with yourself. Eckhart Tolle
The past is gone, the future has not yet arrived. Only this moment remains - pure, saturated with energy. Live it!
Life always happens now.
Remind yourself often that the purpose of life is not to accomplish everything planned, but to enjoy every step taken along the path of life, to fill life with love. Richard Carlson
Sometimes the present moment is impossible to accept, it is unpleasant or terrible. It is what it is. Observe how the mind creates labels and how they are distributed, how continuous dwelling in judgment creates pain and makes you unhappy. By tracking the mechanisms of the mind, you move away from the stereotype of resistance and, thereby, allow the present moment to be. This state gives you the opportunity to feel the taste of inner freedom from external circumstances, the taste of a state of true inner peace. Then just watch what happens, and if necessary or possible, act.Accept first, act later. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you chose it. Always work with him, not against him. Make him your friend and ally, not your enemy. It will magically transform your entire life.
Eckhart Tolle
- What we are going to do?
- Enjoy the moment.
This moment is what is most important.
A moment is only a moment - a person seems so unimportant about the moment that he misses it, but only in this is his whole life, only in the moment of the present can he make the effort that takes the kingdom of God both inside and outside of us. Lev Tolstoy
CURRENTLY
When your attention is brought to the present moment, that is readiness. It is as if you are emerging from a dream - a dream consisting of thoughts, from the past and the future. So clear, so simple. There is absolutely no room for creating problems. Only the present moment - as such. Eckhart Tolle
Just stop, stop looking. Everything you have been looking for is in front of you, you just have to reach out and take what was meant for you from birth. Just stop looking and enjoy what you have. Wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever you are with, just listen, observe, look closely, learn. Just live.Live as if you had just been born and saw everything that surrounds you!The happiness of life lies in the present moment, in the ability to live now and feel, hear, see, breathe every moment... Every moment - Live.
If you want to live a happy life, love everyday little things.
The glow of clouds, the rustle of leaves, the chirping of a flock of sparrows, the faces of passers-by - find pleasure in all these everyday little things.
Akutagawa Ryunosuke
The world will present itself to you exactly as you imagine it to yourself.
You constantly adjust your life to your own ideas about it.
What you believe strongly enough is what you will see in your life. And in no case is it the other way around. In essence, the daily hell in which you live is nothing more than the result of your stubborn belief that here and now is not heaven at all.
Chuck Hillig
You sit and sit for yourself; you go - and go yourself.
The main thing is not to fuss in vain.
You are the garden of Joy, you don't need anyone to be happy. You dwell in the Garden of Joy, but remembering the old things, you become sad. This Joy, this Moment will destroy both the mind and suffering, since this Moment is precisely Happiness. So don't go back to past moments that bring suffering. Papaji
The greatest miracle is to simply be!
I'm interested in delight. I am interested in absolute merging with the cosmos at the everyday level. If I kiss, then I am not there at that moment. If I sing a song, I am not there at that moment. This is what interests me. I look where there are least distractions. Where there are the fewest bunnies around. I don't want to waste my energy. If we again take the analogy with a kiss, there are people who kiss and think - I still need to call this today, do this, this and this. But it's not interesting. If I'm doing something, I want to be all there. I have come to the point of view that I want undiluted happiness.
Boris Grebenshchikov
To learn to live now, you need to let go of everything that happened yesterday.
The present moment is the field on which the game of life takes place. And it cannot happen anywhere else. The secret of the ability to live, the secret of success and happiness can be expressed in three words: Unity with Life. Unity with life is unity with what is Now. Once you realize this, you will understand that it is not you who live your life, but life that lives you. Life is a dancer and you are the dance. Eckhart Tolle
The best way to take care of the future is
Eternity pulsates in every breath...
He who understands life is in no hurry. Stop...
Feel the taste of every moment!
THERE IS NO PAST
The universe is being recreated moment by moment. Therefore, in reality there is no past, there is only a memory of the past. Blink your eye and the world you see did not exist when you closed it. Therefore, the only possible state of mind is surprise. The only possible state of the heart is delight. The skies you see now are ones you have never seen before. Now is the perfect moment. Be happy with it.
Terry Pratchett "Time Thief"
LIVE IN THE HARMLESS PRESENT
When you stop delving into what has already happened...
And worry about what hasn't happened yet...
Then you will be able to feel the Joy of Life.
Stay in the present. You can't change anything in the past, and the future will never come to you exactly as you imagined or expected to see it. Dan Millman.
The great science of living happily is to live in the present.
Don't be afraid of what will happen tomorrow. Love yours today, love it with any, unwanted, bad. And then it will respond to you with love, just as someone whom no one wants to see or accept anymore responds with love, and suddenly there is someone who accepts him completely.
You are too preoccupied with what was and what will be... The sages say: the past is forgotten, the future is closed, the present is given. That's why they call him real.
Don't let the clock and calendar obscure the fact that every second of life is a miracle and a mystery.
Forget the past, it brings sorrows, do not think about the future, it brings worries, live in the present, because this is the only way to be happy.
Do not anger the cruel firmament with prayer,
Don't call your disappeared friends back.
Forget yesterday, don’t think about tomorrow:
Today you live - live today.
Omar Khayyam
People would suffer much less if they did not so diligently develop the power of imagination, if they did not endlessly remember past troubles, but lived in the harmless present.
Only by stopping to grieve about the past and worry about the future can I enjoy what is happening now.
Yesterday is already history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
And today is a gift, accept it.
This is how the Little Engine from Romashkovo reasoned: stop, look around, listen, otherwise you may be late for life...
As I breathe in, I calm my body and mind.
As I exhale, I smile.
Being in the present moment, I know that this moment is amazing!
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today's is a gift!
One day, from the window of his house, from where he could see the market square, Rabbi Nachman noticed one of his students. He was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Did you have time to look at the sky this morning? - Rabbi Nachman asked him.
No, rabbi, I didn't have time.
Believe me, in fifty years everything you see here will disappear. There will be a different fair here - with different horses, with different carts, and the people will be different too. I won't be here anymore, and neither will you. What is so important here that you don’t have time to look at the sky?...
The world is beautiful, perfect, and endlessly interesting. You just need to realize life in the moment Here and Now. And she will open all her doors to you. Yes, be open with your heart!
The ego keeps you waiting: tomorrow, when you succeed, you can rejoice. And today, of course, you must suffer, you must sacrifice. Tomorrow simply means something that never happens. This is postponing life until later. This is a great strategy to keep you captive to suffering. The ego cannot rejoice in the present. It is not capable of existing in the present; it dwells only in the future or in the past, which do not exist. The past no longer exists, the future does not yet exist; both are non-existent things. In the present, pure moment, you will not find the ego in yourself - only silent joy and pure silent emptiness.
OSHO ---
Never go back to the past. It kills your present. Memories are meaningless, they only take away your precious time. Stories don't repeat, people don't change. Never wait for anyone, don’t stand still. Those who need it will catch up. Do not look back. All hopes and dreams are just illusions, don’t let them take over you.
Remember! Never, under any circumstances, give up. And always love, you cannot live without love, but love this present, the past cannot be returned, and the future may not begin.
Sometimes we say how good it used to be, how we miss those times. In the future, we will say the same about what is happening now. Appreciate the present.
If you always look back, you won't be able to see what lies ahead...
M/f "Ratatouille" ---
Close your eyes and you will see. Stop listening and you will hear. Stay alone with your heart - and you will realize...
Use every moment so that you don’t repent later and regret that you missed your youth.
Paulo Coelho ---
Try, at least in a small way, not to bring your mind.
Look at the world - just look.
Don't say "like" or "dislike". Don't say anything.
Don't say words, just watch.
The mind will feel uncomfortable.
The mind would like to say something.
You simply say to the mind:
“Be quiet, let me see, I’ll just watch”...
Stretching out their hands to the stars, people often forget about the flowers under their feet.
D. Benthem ---
Life is the way it is seen. It's magical enough that you don't need to invent anything else.
—— Bernard Werber —-
There are three traps that steal joy and peace: regret about the past, anxiety about the future, and ungratefulness for the present.
Do you want to be happy man- don’t rummage through your memory.
Accept reality as it is.
Appreciate everything that comes into your life.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Let go when the time is right.
I was inspired by the words of Chogyam Trungpa, a Tibetan meditation master, who was once asked how he managed, fleeing from the Chinese invasion, to cross the Himalayas with his disciples, having almost no preparation or provisions, not knowing the path and outcome of his risky undertaking. His answer was short: “Alternately moving your legs.”
Jorge Bucay
Happiness is available to everyone, and is available right now.
We just need to stop and look carefully at the treasures that already surround us.
There are people who think that somewhere is better than here.
There are people who think that once upon a time it was (will be) better than it is now.
There are people who feel good here and now, while others think.
How you live every day is how your whole life goes. How easy it is to give in to the idea that one day does not solve anything, since we have many more similar days ahead of us. But wonderful life- this is nothing more than a sequence of wonderful, well-lived days, coming in succession, like pearls strung on a thread in a beautiful necklace. Every day is valuable in its own way. The past is left behind and the future is just a figment of the imagination, so today is all you own. So use this day wisely.
Life is “now.” This is not “tomorrow” and not “yesterday”. One is unknown, the other does not exist.
Peace and serenity can only exist in the present moment. If you really want to be in peace and harmony, you must be in peace and harmony right now.
Your whole life flies by in just one moment.
In these moments, all of you...
Live in a world without ideas about what will happen next. Whether you are a winner or a loser, it doesn't matter. Death will take everything away. Whether you win or lose is immaterial. The only thing that matters, and always has, is how you play the game. Did you enjoy it? - the game itself... - and then every moment becomes a moment of joy.
Osho
Walking on water is not a miracle.
A miracle is to walk on the Earth and feel truly alive right now.
And smile!
Most of us live at such a frantic pace that real silence and stillness sometimes become something alien and uncomfortable. Most people, hearing my words, will say that they do not have time to sit and look at a flower. They will tell you that they don’t have time to just enjoy the laughter of their children or run barefoot in the rain. They will say that they are too busy for such activities. They don't even have friends, because friends also take time...
Robin Sharma ---
THE JOY OF LIFE
Ask yourself: “Am I experiencing joy, peace and ease in what I am doing now?”
If not, it means that time obscures the present moment, and life is perceived as a heavy burden or a struggle. If there is no joy, no peace, no ease in what you are doing, then this does not necessarily mean that you should change what you are doing.
All you have to do is change HOW you do it.
"HOW" is always more important than "WHAT".
See if you have the opportunity to pay even more, and much more, attention to the DOING ITSELF than to the RESULT that you want to achieve through this doing. Direct all your attention to what THIS MOMENT gives you. At the same time, this will mean that you fully accept what is, because you cannot give something your full attention and at the same time resist it.
As soon as you begin to honor and respect the present moment, then all existing discontent dissipates and the need for struggle disappears, and life begins to flow joyfully and calmly. No reality can be a threat to you.
If yesterday was lost due to some mistake, then do not lose today by remembering this...
No matter how long your path may be, there is never more to it than: one step, one breath, one moment - Now.
Eckhart Tolle ---
Don't spoil what you have by wanting what you don't have; remember that once you only hoped to get what you have now.
Be deeply aware that the present moment is all you have. Believe in him and make him beautiful.
There is no point in looking for a place where you will feel good. It makes sense to learn how to create this well anywhere.
We waste, let the best moments slip through our fingers, as if we had God knows how many of them in stock. We usually think about tomorrow, about next year, while we need to grab with both hands the overflowing cup that life itself holds out, unbidden, with its usual generosity - and drink and drink until the cup passes into others. hands. Nature does not like to treat and offer for a long time. Alexander Ivanovich Herzen
There comes a time in everyone's life when you need to understand that the old is no more. It was there in the past, but now it has collapsed completely and irrevocably. This is how we learn to let go of time.
Only very few people live for today. Most are preparing to live later.
Be in the moment. Bring your total awareness into this moment. Don't let the past interfere, don't let the future come in. The past is no more, it is dead. Die to the past at every moment, whatever the past may be, heaven or hell. Whatever it is, die to him, and be fresh and young, and be born again in this moment.A person appears to be in the present, but this is only an appearance. Man lives in the past. It passes through the present, but remains rooted in the past.The past is gone - why cling to it? You can't do anything with it; you can't go back, you can't remake it - why cling to it? This is not a treasure. And if you cling to the past and think that it is a treasure, of course your mind will want to experience it again and again in the future. Osho
This moment contains the seed of the greatest truth. This is the truth you wanted to remember. But as soon as this moment arrived, you immediately began to formulate thoughts about it. Instead of being in the moment, you stood on the sidelines and judged it. Then you reacted. This means you acted as you have done before.
Approaching each moment as if it were clean slate, without any prior thought about it, you can create yourself as you are, and not repeat yourself as you once were.
Life is a process of creation, and you continue to live as if it were a process of repetition!
Neil Donald Walsh
Everything we perceive during our lives is “in the moment.” Things exist only for a moment, only we do not dare or do not want to consider them in this way.
—— Rinpoche Dzongsar Khyentse ——Does the sun shine on me today so that I can think about yesterday?
Friedrich Schiller
Many people wait all week for Friday, the whole month of the holiday, the whole year of summer, and the whole life of happiness... But you need to rejoice in every day and enjoy every moment.

Preston is a bad guy. And Amanda, it seems, has been in love with him forever. When she finally decides to make the first move, it won't end well. But, nevertheless, she can resist him. Especially now that he seems to be stalking her too.
No one wants them to be together, not Amanda's brother Marcus, who is engaged to Lowe, not Preston's friends. They know too much about Preston's dark side. However, a dangerous attraction arises between them... and neither Preston nor Amanda are going to deny it.
Preston appeared in Breath more as comic relief and Marcus's best friend. In "Because of Lowe", he, one of the players on Cage York's baseball team, also takes part in Marcus's life.
In While It Lasts, he only appears in an "episode". One of them is with Amanda, where there is a hint that something is going on between them.
From the author: “I know Preston's story hasn't been clear since his first appearance in Breath. I knew what secrets he had, but I wasn’t sure that I would ever delve into his life. After “Because of Lowe,” I realized that his character needed to be rewritten, but I don’t know exactly how, it was hard for me. I had no doubt that after I told the story of bad boy Cage York, I had to tell the story of Preston, who was always around somewhere. He is quite possibly the deepest character for me at this time. Strangely though, I know he was portrayed as a playboy. First impressions are deceiving and Preston Drake is just that case!”
Well, if it's not little Manda, then we all get dressed and go play.
The water I was sipping chose that moment to choke me. Covering my mouth to muffle my coughing, I turned away from the warm breath against my ear. I showed up here tonight for one reason: to see Preston Drake. Was it luck that when he finally decided to notice that I was alive, I coughed from my fucking lungs?
Preston was amused by this and chuckled and patted me on the back, which didn't help my humiliation.
Sorry Manda, I didn't know my presence would make you cough.
When I was able to speak, I turned back to face the guy who had been his grandiose appearance in my nightly fantasies for a couple of years now. All the preening I would have gone through to look irresistible that evening was pointless. Preston grinned at me, as always. I amused him. He didn't see me as anything but innocent younger sister his best friend, Marcus Hardy. It was a cliché. How many bad novels have I read about a girl hopelessly in love with her brother's best friend? Countless.
You scared me. “I wanted to explain my sudden burst of coughing.”
Preston tipped the beer bottle to his lips and took a sip, keeping his gaze on me.
Are you sure it wasn't my sexy-as-hell voice whispering in your ear that caused your momentary lack of oxygen?
Yes, it was probably him. But the guy knew that he was handsome. I didn't mean to add to his ego. I crossed my arms over my stomach and assumed a defensive posture. I never knew how to talk to Preston or what to say to him. I was so afraid, he looked into my eyes and knew that I closed my eyes at night and imagined that very bad things were happening to his body.
Damn, Manda,” he said in a low, husky voice, lowering his eyes down to my chest. I wore a low cut white blouse tonight, and a really nice push up bra, in the hopes of at least making Preston see that my body had grown. Besides, I knew he had a thing about boobs. This was obvious from the girls he dated…. Well, he didn't actually date. He just fucked them. My boobs were small, but a good push-up bra and correct position, and they weren't too bad.
You're wearing a really nice shirt.
He really looked at me. Or on them, but they were part of me, so it was the same.
Preston took another step towards me, covering the small distance that separated us. His eyes were still focused on the valley between my breasts, which I put on display.
Maybe it's not very smart to wear a shirt like that, Manda. - His deep voice made me shudder. - Oh damn, girl, don't do it. Don't tremble.
One big hand touched my waist. He touched my stomach with his thumb and gently lifted the hem of my shirt.
I've been drinking since four o'clock, honey. You need to push me away and send me away because I don't think I can stop myself.
A little whining. Oh yes. Should I start begging now?
Preston's eyes meet mine. Its long blonde hair, into which girls everywhere wanted to put their hands, fell into his eyes. I couldn't help it. I reached up and tucked the loose strands behind my ear. He closed his eyes and made a short, content sound.
Manda, you are very sweet. Really fucking sweet and I'm not the kind of guy you should let anywhere near you. - His voice was almost a whisper now, and his gaze was fixed on me. I could see a small glazed look in his eyes, confirming that he had had too much.
I'm a big girl. I can decide who I let near me,” I replied, shifting my hips so that he would have a better view of my shirt if he wanted it.
Mmmm, I see, this is where I think you might be going wrong, because untouched little bodies like yours, all fresh and sweet, are not worth tempting guys who are only looking for one more hot fuck.
The word “fuck” coming from Preston Drake's full pink lips was a major twist. He was so sweet. He always was. His eyelashes are so long and his face is so sculpted, and when you add his lips and hair, you have one killer set.
“Maybe I’m not as untouched as you think,” I said, hoping he wouldn’t reveal the lie. I want to be one of those bad girls that he doesn't mind taking in the back room against the wall.
Preston lowered his mouth, barely touching the skin of my shoulder that wasn't covered by the shirt I'd chosen.
Are you telling me that this sweetness was played with?
No. “Yes,” I answered.
“Come take a ride with me,” he asked close to my ear as his teeth gently nipped at my earlobe.
Preston turned and nodded towards the door.
Which probably wasn't such a good idea. If Rock, Dwayne, or any of my brother's friends had seen us leaving together, they would all have stopped and nothing would have happened. And I wanted something to happen. The time of thinking about Preston Drake under the covers is over. I wanted a real man. I wonder why Preston didn't think of our exit. Did he want the guys to stop us? I glanced at their usual table, and Rock wasn't paying any attention to us. Dwayne winked at me, then went back to talking to some girl.
I looked back at the bartender.
First I have to pay my bill.
Preston pushed me towards the door.
I will cry. Come in my Jeep.
OK. Yes. I wanted to go and get into his Jeep. It will look like we left separately. Nodding, I hurried to the door, thinking that maybe I had just won the lottery.

Hello!
Interested in the word "PARAOLYMPIC". Etymology and also modern spelling. In the printed publication I came across the use of "PARALYMPIC". Is it correct?
Sincerely, Natalia
In official documents and in the media it is customary to write without O: Paralympic Games, Paralympics, Paralympians. But in the 4th edition of the “Russian Spelling Dictionary” (M., 2012, this is the last printed edition of the dictionary at the moment) it is recorded: Paralympics And Paralympics. The electronic version of the dictionary on our portal also offers the corresponding options.
Writing words related to Paralympic Games, Indeed, it has experienced and is experiencing fluctuations. Thus, in the previous printed edition of the “Russian Spelling Dictionary” (M., 2005) only the spelling was recorded Pair O Olympics. " It would seem logical,” wrote Marina Koroleva. - After all, the speech in this case goes about a compound word consisting of two parts: the adjective we know Olympic And pair-(from the Greek para - near, near, at). The first part, para-, indicates in compound words that something is nearby, near. Or to deviate from something (paranormal, paramagnetic). Paralympic games- This sports, the same Olympic Games, but for the disabled, people with disabilities. They are traditionally held after the Olympic Games, and for some time now even in the same cities. Para-Olympic: simple and clear." About the first cases of variants appearing in official documents Paralympics, Paralympic Games V.V. Lopatin, executive editor of the Russian Spelling Dictionary, chairman of the Spelling Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said this: “We have a Lympiad.”

Thank you very much for my previous answer to the question (the origin of the word “mother”), but could you answer in more detail which country is the origin of this word. The fact is that at the moment I am studying in Japan and my friends claim that the word “mother” comes from China. In Chinese, Japanese and Korean, "mother" has the same meaning as in Russian. We have a question: did this word really originate in China?
Thank you in advance.
Anastasia.
Russian help desk response
Anastasia, about words like Mother And dad, one cannot say that they are the property of one language, from which they could later come to another. These words, formed by adults by isolating some combinations of sounds similar to syllables from children's babble, belong to the most ancient layer of vocabulary of any language. They apparently arose not even in the Proto-Indo-European language (the common ancestor of all Slavic, Germanic, Romance and other languages), but in the Proto-Nostratic language - the hypothetical ancestor of most languages of Europe, Asia and Africa. In fact, according to Mother And dad many thousands of years ago, they appeared long before Japan became Japan, China became China, and Russia became Russia.
