Best line ever about the Russian language:
"It's the Cyrillic alphabet! It's like all the buttons you never push on a calculator!"
A funny thing I noticed about cell phones here- In English, with a 26 letter alphabet, each key on a cell phone has 3 letters of the alphabet (ABC, DEF, GHI, etc). Since Russian has about 33 letters, 4 letters are forced to fit on each key (АБВГ, ДЕЖЗ, ИЙКЛ, and so on). Check it out:
Russian is awesome, don't you agree?
