That'll get em! Next time I want to hurt someone I'll say a few mean things about them in a language they don't speak in a game they can't buy.

Aren't Russian and Ukrainian so similar that they're mutually intelligible except for a few things here and there?

It's a 60% lexical similarity rate (including writing scripts) . That's like equivalent to the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese...

Oh darn I thought it was higher, but I guess a lot of Ukrainians are bilingual too
