Naujo kalbos patarimų leidinio užsilaukus
When we have waited for the new publication on language advice for too long

Summary/Abstract: The preparation of the new publication on language advice has been delayed. Initially planned publication Kalbos praktikos patarimai (Advice on Language Practice) has finally evolved as Kalbos patarimai (Language Advice), which is being prapared in a diferent way and in many cases is based on different principles. The prepared and published tentative issues of Kalbos patarimai have been focusing on grammar and manifest a tendency to make the publication too academic, overcrowd it with small but largely irrelevant things (particulary dialectisms), increase the number of rules and exeptions to them, present them by symbols and schemas. Therefore, the author of the article is concerned about the society's inability to comprehend and use the new publication. When preparing it, might have been more useful to make a clearly defined selection of issues to include, to give less detail and present one or more simplified form.
