The double quotes in my reply do not mean an exact quote, more like what is described in Wikipedia as under Irony or maybe Signaling unusual language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_quotes#Signaling_unusual...

You used the Philippines as a counter-example to Russians not having very good skills in English. I think the example was badly chosen: Like if you choose to compare them to Canada or United Kingdom. Of course there are countries where people have better skills in English than in Russia. But I think comparison with one of these extreme examples misses the point -- you should compare Russia to other countries that are competing for being "the world leader in software development".

I do think however that we are discussing about a bit different things though, as I didn't understand how your reply had anything to do with my message -- except for the double quote part.
