Dear Lady Marina Orlova,
I was just watching you speaking in russian and English on this video of your interveiw with Snob Magazine and I was wondering, as you native tongue is Russian, you have studied and exelled in English and living in the states you would have to use daily.
Which language do you think in?
And i would like to congratulate your Ladyship on all that Hot For Words has achieved.
My word request would be,
Why do they say Ladyship or Lordship/Lairdship and what is the origin of these titles?
Keep up the good work, and heres to the next 200,000,000, Cheers

Huh, that’s very interesting PK. I have known there are many words that in some countries that have slightly different weights to it’s meaning.

I had a great opportunity to learn Russian paid for by the US government. I refused… Why? I didn’t want the job that came with it. It was a good thing though. I live to tell about it. In hindsight I wish I had taken it and failed. At least I would have the training for free.

Later on I did try to take up some Tagalog. Fun language to learn. It was a bit easier than learning Spanish. I had started to learn a bit of Greek but then said the heck with learning all this, since English is becoming universal.

Atta boy, CK! It may be a bit quixotic, but I’m for defending the language from corruption, and even more so when it’s done by people who make their living from words and should know better.

That is sooooo funny. I thought exactly the same thing. Meine Mutter called me that when I got into trouble; “Du bist ein Kerl.”

That phonetics site is neat. I can see how that can help me pronounce words. I admire people like misscupcake who can switch accents. Great site. Vielen Dank!

Watch out for that warning that says;

Hmmm, this must be umlaut month.
