A photo from open sources In the administrative center of Sverdlovsk the rally “Total Dictation” took place, in the framework of which every interested resident of the city could test his knowledge of Russian language. The most illiterate Yekaterinburg according to the results of the competition became a member who made two hundred and seventy-three mistakes in two hundred eighty-two words, including prepositions and conjunctions.
According to the organizers of the action, it looked like a dictation wrote not an adult man of Russian nationality, but a small a child who only yesterday learned to put letters into words. IN due to the fact that “Total Dictation” is an event anonymous, the identity of the anti-record holder is not intended to be disclosed. He nevertheless, will receive a spelling as a comforting gift dictionary and other materials for learning the native language.
The organizers said that this year the most problematic for the correct spelling of words became the adverbs “half-heartedly” and half-turn. More than seventy percent of the population of Yekaterinburg made mistakes in these places. In addition, it turned out that thirty-two percent of city residents do not know how to write “not” with different parts of speech. Adjectives “non-obvious”, “incomprehensible” and “invisible” for many Yekaterinburg residents were excessively complicated.
In total, an event was attended by one thousand eight hundred and fifty four people. Only twenty-one of them did not admit to dictation not a single mistake. But the rest probably scolded their children, when they bring from the school “troika” in Russian.
