    What, by showing up two years late after we repelled all threat of German invasion? Gee, thanks guys.

    It'd be the French that got saved by the Americans. Go trash their language.

    Blame your ancestors. They're the ones who came over here and killed the people who were already here minding their own business and speaking their own language so they could do everything they're doing now. =p
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Okay, maybe I should of said "Your nation's rejects" rather than "Your ancestors"?

    Чернобыль for me, even though it is slightly harder to spell than Чорнобйл.
    Чернобыль is probably how I would spell it, but without the ь because that changes the sound of the л from hard to soft and it should be hard in Чернобыль. Shouldn't it?

    I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

    I'm rubbish at Russian, so I'm guessing that it's probably pronounced in English with the emphasis on the быль whereas in Russian it's pronounced with the emphasis on a different syllable.

    Kinda like Борис. In English it's pronounced Boris, in Russian it's pronounced like Barees.

    In Russian I believe that the emphasis is on the но, but I could be wrong as I don't do much Russian speaking anymore. Where the emphasis lies doesn't really make the letters sound different though, but the ь is like an <i>e</i> at the end of a word in English. It's silent, but it changes the sound of the syllable preceeding it. The ь changes the consonant preceeding it from hard to soft.

    However, after looking it up, it seems like both versions of the word have a ь, so it just shows how terrible my Russian spelling is.
