Wading into the transliteration debate is, I have found, one sure-fire way to discover how little I know about the Russian language - or at least, how the Russian language is transliterated into English.

Have you ever noticed that NOBODY seems to want to follow published transliteration rules (or are they only guidelines)??

Keep up the good work - somebody's got to show the courage --smile--.

Are there published transliteration rules ? I've never seen any for Russian. There are variations of the Latin alphabet for Serb-Croatian, Bulgarian, and Azerbaijani.

I prefer the Cyrillic alphabet for Slavic language because of the differences in pronunciation from English. I find transliterated Russian confusing and difficult to interpret.

....It makes me laugh to see such butchering of the language.

The "spaceeba" thing in particular is a hoot. You'd think these guys would learn basic grammer, and that an "o" is pronounced as "ah" in many cases. Geez, there's aways a Russian dictionary also.

lol...Spasibo, keep it up.

That if she came down with a serious case of flu, they would want her hospitalized for a couple of weeks. It is also the time for the flu to start it's rounds in Eastern Europe, so it doesn't surprise me at all that she caught it.

I hope she is doing OK. Unless you have a good reason for doubting her, I'd be highly-inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt in this instance.

FWIW

Spoke with my lady today and she said it was snowing and cold out.

Where is Kiev in relationship to North America?  Like in Winnepeg, Canada

Here in NW TN the weather is like 65-70 today, I was wearing a tank top and shorts all day long....working on my greenhouse (puttin the roof on)!

Perfect weather!  But normally it's like awful cold, I guess we'll get that next month.
