User:Moreevo

Hi, I'm user Moreevo − I intend to read it as "Morevo" − and I'm a non-native speaker of English.

I hope that spelling and elementary grammar will not pose a real problem, but the correct use of complex sentences could be problematic. One problem is the "meta-message" that can sometimes be inferred from complex sentences: Hence my complex-sentence-meta-messages could be unintended!

Therefore I will use commas where a speaker would make a pause, and I will try to circumvent complex sentences: I will break them with full stops or structure them with semicolons; and intended dependencies between sentences will be expressed with double points.(And sometimes I will use brackets to indicate a skippable part of a sentence or less important sentences.) And I'll use the and-conjunction quite often and the 'll-shortening rather seldom. At last, I want to emphasize that I'm not familiar with idioms.

I'm not indifferent to the topics that I'm interested in. I think that this quite common, but one should be open about that. And therefore give examples that can stand as pars pro toto for where one stands on the topics one likes to write about.

As I'm intending to write about "climate change", here are the examples for my stance on climate change mitigation actions: Saving energy by using the bike instead of the car should be government-sponsored by better bike lanes and better bike sheds and reduction of the maximum speed. In my country the speed limit for streets connecting villages ("Landstraße", ordinary highways) is 100 km/h. One is allowed to ride a bike there but I think that this is unsafe and there should be more bike lanes. On the other side I'm for the repeal of a law that mandates the addition of "bio fuel" as a replacement for gasoline.

And I liked the replacement of traditional incandescent light bulbs with halogen lamps for room lighting: they share almost the same characteristics with the traditional one but save 20-30% of energy. But I don't like that they are practically forbidden to buy in the EU since some years now. Back then the common alternative was the fluorescence lamp, which was quite bad. Fluorescence lamps often had a very unnatural light spectrum and they contain mercury gas and have to be deposed as hazardous waste. Now there is the white LED which is much better in this regard, but nevertheless the halogen lamps should be made purchasable.

Ironically and not well-known as they are not marketed by the big stores: one can still buy the traditional light bulb in the more expensive shockproof version, but only in the form of non-frosted bulbs.
