I've been cataloging too much lately. Especially translations. I can now spell things like Energomashinostroyeniye without looking, even though I know no Russian.

a) do you knwo what it means?

b) do you know that it is what my grandma used to do and grandpa still does? :)

You know, since transliterations are by nature inexact, they ought to be easy to spell... :-)

So much for my great skills in Russian. I read it as "energy machine mood", rather than mechanical engineering. (nostroyeniye is mood, stroyeniye apparently means "making")
