Okay, friends of allova ignore this, I'm just further disseminating the Crack. On toast.

I've identified 49 out of the 50 clues, and it's eating my brain.

Контролная работа

Just in case studying for my Russian unit test (which is in half an hour) didn't fry my brain enough over the weekend, my Child Development teacher popped a quiz on us today. Gyah! Who cares whether a zygote develops limb buds at 5 weeks or not? I'm trying to cling desperately to the _six_ different verbs Russian has for "to go" (and this is just traveling, not even counting all the other things we use "go" for). I shit you not. Unidirectional, or multi-? By foot, or vehicle? Continuous or habitual, or one-time? elven_alchemist, your language was on crack when it came up with that.

And just to make life fun, there are completely separate verbs for "traveling multi-directional by foot" and "strolling." Can't we just use гулять all the time and forget about ходить and its (way too many) permutations? Ой. You'd think a language that spent most of its life without an alphabet would be _simpler_ than others.
