Alla:

Oh, I understood that point, I mean maybe I am confused about what 
you meant about the accents, but I understood that article in general 
seemed americanized to you.

It also seemed to me that this was one of your points of contention 
with the article was exactly that - that it was americanized.

I mean, of course you either like or dislike the article just as any 
written work, but if you dislike the article because it was 
americanized and not for any other reason, it just strange to me.

I mean, the writer is american, why it should not be americanized?
