Americans & wrestling I watched it on TV. The guys were breaking some bones and few necks, and couple times even killed each other. That was not actually a problem for them - they recovered every time and broke the opponent in turn. Mix of play and battle... both unnatural... And it seems to be popular there. What really surprized me - is there were lots of adults on the tribunes, all loudly shouting and supporting as crazy... There are a lot of REAL stuff in US - when it comes to acting, there's the great theater school, and for fighting there are ever the world's top ones - NHL, NFL, prof-boxing etc... So the question is - having all these there, what's the point to watch such idiotic performance?..

"Am I", "Do I" etc in statements One guy after flight on a plane said "Excited am I!". A dialogue: "I missed you!" - "So did I!" And the words order in those fits the rule for composing a question, though they are not questions, but statements... Could you please clarify such using? Are there any common expressions like these? Thanx a lot!

Care for smth? Just run across this phrase couple times in some movies. Does that mean "would you like smth"? Are there any differencies between these two expressions? Thanx:)

some against any "contact me, if you need _some_ help" or "contact me, if you need _any_ help"? It's neither negative nor a question, so "some" seems to be fine. But some feeling tells me, it should be "any"... Which one is more correct? Thanx in advance!

If I say to a girl "you're nice" If I say to a girl "you're nice" - will that be considered as a compliment or just something like as "you are ok"? Or are there more natural phrases to make a compliment? Thanx!And from the answers below, a context is to be clarified. Well, it's about saying to a woman, that she looks beautiful for me (as a woman); not about she's polite or decent or pleasant, etc. To say, that I like her very much (maybe even fell in love with her:) ). Such kind of compliments I meant. And that has to be both politeelegant and informative - really, to not say like "you attract me as a female"... And I guess there are better expressions for all that... Could you please show me those? ... or I risk to get into a situation when either I'm not understood or get a slap :) And, BTW, did I explain all that correctly? Thanks a lot for all!
