Little elephant, after the word "approximately," there should be a colon, not a comma.

What "approximately" are you talking about, if it's not a secret?:confused:

I'm not very good at "olban," but you're definitely exaggerating about "how it sounds" and "everywhere possible." I doubt anyone hears "ishcho" in the word "eshche." And the concept of "how it sounds" is quite subjective. As chemists say when arguing about the color of the resulting product, it all depends on the degree of color blindness. Therefore, many words allow for different spellings, but not all and not always, although I may have misunderstood something.

I'm not exaggerating anything.:smile06: Let me introduce you to the definition of "olban" from a grammatical point of view:
The peculiarities of the "padonki" style lie in the deliberate violation of the norms of Russian orthography towards phonetic writing ("decorative transcriptions") - primarily, in shifting phonetically adequate forms towards orthographically incorrect ones - using "a" instead of unstressed "o" and vice versa, "i" instead of unstressed "e" and vice versa, "ts" instead of "ts," "ts," "ds," also "zhi" and "shi" instead of "zhi" and "shi," "shch" instead of "sch" and vice versa, "ya" instead of the initial "ya," "f" or "ff" instead of "v," the opposite use of voiced and unvoiced consonants, and also in merging words together without a space. It should be noted that replacing phonetically adequate words with distorted ones (for example, "preved" or "krosavcheg") is more related to the lexicon of "preveda" than to the jargon of "padonki."
In case anyone doesn't know: "phonetic writing" is the embodiment of the principle "not how it is written, but how it sounds." We Russians are not alone in this perversion: few have not read pearls like "all 4 u," which is also an example of phonetic writing.
About "ishcho" - I specifically made the caveat "where possible." Many words in Russian are phonetically correct, that is, they sound the same as they are written. But they also need to be distorted in order not to violate the style of "olban"! :smile04:

In my not-so-long life, I had the opportunity to study 5 languages (although with VERY different results), and I have come to the conclusion that the cleaner and more diverse a language is in its execution, the more beautiful it is. Therefore, "olban" should go "fftopku."

Yes, if only... For now, it's not going anywhere, except perhaps into the mainstream.:( And the expression "great and mighty Russian language" is used exclusively with a sarcastic undertone.
