The Cyrillic alphabet is based on the Greek alphabet, which explains why their equivalent of an R is a Р, among other things.

It does not explain why their equivalent of an I, a letter which exists in both Latin and Greek, is a И. Nor why their equivalent of an N is a Н. Neither the English H nor the Greek Eta sound anything like an N.

They probably feel the same way about our P.

my next alphabet will be Korean. Look forward to it!

I walked into the 7-Eleven this evening, and saw a guy in a Discount Cab, selling gallon jugs of gasoline.

And it looked like he was having a little trouble getting rid of it, too.

Something tells me the bus will be a little more crowded tomorrow.
