In referring to Russian icons - I see it spelled icon and ikon; is there a reason to go with one or the other?

NO MEEGAN! It must always be spelled IKON! And not Ikon. NO! WRONG! IKON! In caps to bold our market impact! *eye roll* I'll see you in 20 so you can smack me then.

But does this mean you are working on Grave? *bounce*

You're not reading this one 'til it's done and has been approved by my Russian Consultant. I'm being uber picky since it's for the contest.

You = 2x Doomed

Um, hate to but in, but I'm fairly certain that it's ikon, just based on the Cyrillic alphabet. Then again, I know Greek, not Russian.

bwahaha- you're not butting in. That's what I was thinking, but I figured I'd better ask the two people on my list that know Russian. I want to use the ikon spelling, but I prefer to be accurate.

I think icon is just an Anglicized spelling of it. We musta stole it from the Byzantines some time back. World history rocks. (studied it this year)

All history is the roxor. If all goes to plan, I shall someday be a professor of it (that or gender studies).

My Russian slaves consultants seem to be MIA so we'll go with ikon. I agree w/you it is more correct, and it looks cooler anyway.

Cool. I need to learn Spanish first, but hopefully someday, I'll be multi-lingual.

Everything is krazy better when spelled with the letter "k." The letter "c" is longer kool.

You need to be smakked for that.

By this point I'm sure we should both be cilled.

Ok, if you're replacing "c"'s with "k"'s & vice-versa...


Wanna play with my kokc, baby?

I'm sure Tony would love to manhandle your kokc, hotkaces.

I'm afraid you must be kompletely kooky.
I'm all about just konverting the c's to k's.
One way for me.
That one way mainly being in the direktion of the girls in leather.

or, to put it another way:
"Only if there were no girls left. And there were no sheep.
Are there sheep?"

Sorry

M and God have been borrowing my computer for hours on fucking end to play goddamned FF. That and I've been sleeping on my regularly wacked out schedule. Sorry not to have been around.

Indeed, most of your buddies here are on the ball. According to the Cyrillic, k would be more accurate. It's why Konstantin (Kostya) and Ekaterina(Katya) are spelled with k. It's a more accurate translation. So props...
