>times! Choosing the right words in a technical discussion takes a >bit of brain power anyway, and I can see now how difficult the >english language can be. I have a very good friend from Russia who says, "Technical English is just bad Russian. Regular English is very bad Russian." The reason he finds "technical English" easier is because we have so much Greek in it. So does Russian. To drag this even further OT... My son (6 or 7 at the time) is learning Greek. We were reading an Air & Space Magazine together, and there was a picture of a Tupolev airliner in it. He pointed to the jet and started sounding out the word. He had no problem reading "Aeroflot."
