WE ARE HAPPY



СУДЬЯ СОВЕТЧИК







Для нечитающих на иврите - малорелевантное пояснение:
вместо привычной мантры брацлавских хасидов НА НАХ НАХМА НАХМАН МЕ-УМАН, новый вариант - НА НАХ НАХМА НАХМАН БЯЛИК

К тому же, Вы же по-русски написали, а по-русски мн.ч. - страты.

but i don't mind changing the rules just for you. after all, rules are so boring. we could even break them - that'd be even more exciting.

naturally, you're right about the russian declination.

The plural strata has occasionally been used as a singular since the 18th century and is sometimes given the plural stratas (there was a strata of Paris which mere criticism of books fails to get hold of — Ezra Pound) (a Roman burial ground suggests stratas of corruption and decay — Connie Fletcher, Booklist). Current evidence shows senses 2, 3b, and 4 so used, with 3b the most common. Singular strata is persistent but not frequent. Strata may someday establish itself as a singular like agenda, but that use is still not established.

too bad everything's so ambiguous. i wish there were a rule so that we could both break it.
