Re: [Cz-L] Cold in Czernowitz

My mistake :
   In my mail I have used as past tense for " to stick " - sticked.
    Our pen friends attracted my attention to the new version - stuck.
      I beg forgiveness but it is hard to follow all the innovations
        of the English language.
          Everyday something new...
