Жжош!

Could some fellow Russian please explain to me the exact meaning of the verb "жечь" as used in the Russian blogspeak (usually grossly and deliberately misspelt, like for example "жжош" instead of "жжёшь")? I suppose this is some kind of positive characteristic. Is it related to the phrase "глаголом жечь сердца людей" by A. S . Pushkin? I believe this can also be interesting for Russian students reading blogs kept by native Russian speakers.

[Update: PLEASE, PLEASE refrain from further posting on this topic. There is already a lot of garbage here, and I regret that I started the whole thing.]

Business Russian

[fox-c.livejournal.com]

Are there any websites that focus on vocabulary specifically relating to business and finance? I'm needing to do quite a bit of work in Russian and it would be very helpful to have a dictionary (virtual or printed) that focuses on this kind of vocabularly specifically. Unfortunately most of my language experience in Russian has been in daily situations and literature, so I'm terrified of making a huge faux pas by using completely inappropriate language. Any websites or books that focus on the structure of professional Russian language would be helpful as well.

Thank you!

Seriously speaking

Having taken a look at this, I have to seriously warn my fellow native Russian speakers against converting this community into a travelling circus. This is not the place where everybody can exercise his/her humour skills, however great they can be (unfortunately, in most cases they aren't, anyway.) This is not even the place for those native speakers who cannot write and/or speak their native language properly and try to improve their skills: there is a special natural reserve for them, called pishu_pravilno.This is, though, the place for helping non-native speakers to learn Russian language. Or, to be more exact, this is the community for the non-native speakers who learn Russian, where native speakers can help them by answering their question, or by posting links to language-related resources, or by posting their own explanations concerning the Russian language topics not really covered by textbooks etc. I would dearly love to ask everybody to avoid too much of a travelling circus here. Dixi.
