Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2005 April 6

# 06 Apr 2005, 05:28PM: Yeah: On BART I stood next to three speakers of Russian. I understood maybe every fifth word in Russian, but a few specific phrases in English:

• California State Bar Exam
• design
• OK
• blog
• pornography

Also, just as English speakers say "yeah" instead of "yes," Russian speakers will make the sound "d" instead of saying "da."
