You lecture me on the etymology of my language?


Yep. Let me remind you that recently you rejected usage of "would" for future, and I provided you several examples of just such use, e.g., in polite or uncertain speech.


And I told you that these are not examples of future - although I agree that "would" is used as a past form of "will" in reported speech about the future. I accept that you know Russian better than me. Now please accept that I know English better than you.
