    Capitalization is often used to highlight the importance of the word. Should you hear it, there would be certain stress put on the word. So in general capitalized word "director" does not mean he or she is the director of FBI but in this text he or she surely is a significant person.

    In Polish we say "Każda potwora znajdzie swego amatora" (literally: Every monster will find her lover) which I guess is pretty close to the meaning of your sentence in spite of abuse included in Polish ;)

    In addition, I don't point out that beauty doesn't matter. Surely it does, especially while making first impression. However, your answer was rather directed to beauty as one and only criterion of selecting a partner - and here I have to disagree.

    @Ahmed that's pretty shallow way of thinking. According to you, people select their partners only by their beauty. I have to disappoint you but many people still (fortunately) look into deeper features such as intelligence, knowledge, sense of humour and manners. When you let your emotions play with your life natural selection by physical appearance has nothing to do with your relationships. Personally if I had a chance to be with a good-looking man who is boring, lacks spontaneity and speaks like a churl I wouldn't even think twice before dumping him.

    Either "Friends are really funny" or "Friend is really funny" ;)

    Częste błędy - lata / Common mistakes - years

    Even native speakers of Polish make mistakes very often.

    One of the most common mistakes concerns describing someone's age or talking about dates.

     

    Example 1 - Age

     

    He is a six year old boy. - On jest sześcioletnim chłopcem.

     

    This is pretty obvious. But how do we write it when it comes to halves?

     

    He is fifteen and a half year old boy. - On jest piętnastoipółletnim chłopcem.

    This is two and a half year old girl. - To jest dwuipółletnia dziewczynka.

    She played with a five and a half year old friend. - Ona bawiła się z pięcioipółletnią koleżanką.

     

    Example 2 - Dates

     

    1996 - rok tysiąc dziewięćset dziewiędziesiąty szósty

    2000 - rok dwutysięczny

    BUT

    2013 - rok DWA TYSIĄCE trzynasty

    2001 - rok dwa tysiące pierwszy

    etc.

     

    As in:

    He died in 1996. - On zmarł w tysiąc dziewięćset dziewiędziesiątym szóstym roku. 

    or 

    On zmarł w roku tysiąc dziewięćset dziewiędziesiątym szóstym.

     

    He got married in 2000 - On ożenił się w dwutysięcznym roku.

    or

    On ożenił się w roku dwutysięcznym.

     

    BUT


    He got divorced in 2012. - On rozwiódł się w dwa tysiące dwunastym roku.

    or

    On rozwiódł się w roku dwa tysiące dwunastym.
