Hi, Gleb Hlebov! -> Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 24.11.2023 08:34

 ak>> A Russianman (muzhik) thoought out what to do to preserve his
 ak>> tomatoes,he grew at his ddacha, from thievs..
 GH> ak I beliee the punctuatioon is not well here. 2 commas too
 GH> many. :-)

You, IMHO, just to used to reading social networks where people don't use
commas at all. :) But, according the rules, an additional information which is
not essential for understanding is marked by commas.
Well, I also often ignore this rule. ;)

 GH> May I put t that way so thhat it would look more "digestible"?
 GH> "Russian dtchnik contrivedd how to protect his tomatoes from theft"

Well, digestion depends on food habits. ;) And, BTW, where have you found
"datchnik" in English dictionaries?

 ak>> And he wrte on his fence  this announcement:
 GH> "He postedthe following annnouncement on his fence: "

Well, but IMHO people write words on the fences, not post them. ;-)

 ak>> "One of m tomatoes is poiisoned!" Next day he sees an
 ak>> addition: "Now there are two".
 GH> "Next day he saw a line was added"

"Next day he saw a line had been added" ;)

 GH> All in all seems like a trrue story though. --)

"it seems"?

Bye, Gleb!
