Is probably rrright.
In the checkout line at Safeway, a middle-aged man with a deep Slavic accent. Sharp consonants, trilled Rs. The transaction was somewhat complicated, with a coupon and a rain-check. After he paid, the register refused to complete the transaction. Finally the clerk realized that he had misentered the unfamiliar rain-check and apologized.
Man said in joking tone: "It doesssn't like Rrrussia!"
I vouldn't be least bit surprrrised if veb-connected computerrrs trrreatink Slavic names as MEDDLING INTERFERRRING MALIGN BEHAVIORRR TERRRRRORRRRIST.
These are times when we all need some dark Slavic humor.
