Fool? At the very least I didn't claim to superiority over someone by
spelling the capital of Russia "Moskva". One can find a movie, if one
wishes, with the title "In Mokba there are no tears.". One can also find, if
one wishes, the spelling Mokba as the capital of the Russian Federation. My
machine doesn't do Cyrillic well but here is another way to spell Moscow:
Россуя - Мосва (Russia - Moscow in Cyrillic) Ain't no CK in it. So we
have a
complete and total fool calling someone else a fool while STILL misspelling
the name of the Capital of Russia.
Do go fuck yourself pissant.

The accepted transliration from Cyrillic to English is "V" for the
Cyrillic "B" which is pronounced as "V".
No, you will not find any spelling of the captol that leaves out the
"S" sound before the "K" (Cyrrillic "C" sounds like "S" in English)
If you are going to pointificate, have a better place to stand.

Suggest you use a newsreader that links backs to previous articles and you don't
snip the names of the previous posters.
As it stands no-one can have a clue who you're talking to aside from yourself.
