When Albert Einstein died, in the queue at Heaven's gate he met three other people who had just arrived. To kill some time, he asked what their IQ was.

- 190," replied the first one.

- Excellent," said Einstein. - We can talk to you about Rutherford's contribution to atomic physics and the general theory of relativity.

- One hundred and fifty,' replied the other.

- 'Good,' said Einstein. - We will discuss with you the role of New Zealand in the struggle for non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

- 50,' replied the third.

Einstein pondered, then said:

- OK, share your forecast for next year's budget deficit.

Answer from the Russian Language Reference Service

The word canindeed be used as an introductory phrase, but it can alsobe used as a circumstance and not marked with a comma. So it is impossible to answer your question without context.

Now you can also accuse the Russian language reference service of illiteracy, you are no stranger to it).

I answered the question IN CONTEXT - I pointed out the grammatical errors in your sentence. Why should I incriminate THEM?

Rutherford had nothing to do with the theory of relativity. He just didn't understand it. He never referred to it at all.

When Rutherford was asked what he thought of the GTR, he said, "Ah, nonsense, we don't need it for our work".

 

Yep.....

The wordcanindeedbe indented as an introductory phrase, or it can actas a circumstance and not highlighted by commas.Sowithout context, you can't answer your question.

I don't understand the Theory of Relativity either, and looking at the debate going on here, I doubt that I can write a budget deficit forecast without errors)))
