“Seriously?? I think your first order of business should be to hire a proofreader. You made yourselves look like fools. Are you still concerned with the Russians? You have bigger problems than Russians. I find you so amusing, I have for over 25 years.”

“Can I work part-time ? I’m working for [Russia] FSB currently but have some free time for CIA too.”

The CIA — also known as the CYA (Cover your Ass) — is recruiting AN US CITIZEN. Think twice before you take this job! Then again, it may be a Freudian slip? That kind of thing happens when the new boss has spent too much time force-feeding prisoners through the wrong end of their pipe.

On a slightly more serious note, the use of the article in English is often a cause of difficulty for Russian speakers who tend to believe that it has no functionality. They are wrong.

Here is the perfect counter-argument for my Russian friends. Please, compare carefully the meaning of these two sentences.

A. “Few who knew him liked him.”

B. “The few who knew him liked him.”
