    I have ё in my name, and I f-ing hate when people write е instead of it. It turns out to be ANOTHER name, which even doesn't exist!! And that's why my foreign passport says my first name is Artem when it should be Artyom.

    they erected a monument in the name of Ё. i think it should be used in publications and so on, otherwise you might as well just get rid of it

    I agree that names are important. Don't even think of letting the ё go in

    Артём, Серёга, Пётр, Фёдор

    Same problem with one of my friend's surname. While you have problems with your first name, this friend of mine has problems with his last name. To put it best, it's not actually him having problems, it's those people who don't like to use "ё" in formal documents like registers. Their reluctance to put two dots above "е" leads to his surname being pronounced incorrectly by people who don't know him. Good for the friend that he's quite used to it and doesn't ask to use ё when his last name is pronounced or spelled wrongly. He just keeps silent Though deep in his soul it might piss him off.

    Think of the English words father, fat and lathe. The "a" is pronounced differently in all the words yet the native speaker knows how to pronounce them without dots and symbols to specify the particular pronounciation.

    You know what I hate?

    Texbooks written for people trying to learn Russian that don't give any indication of where the stress falls in a word. Straum's Outlines, I am looking accusingly at you young man.

    And rabbits. I really hate rabbits.

    It sucks that the ONLY place I can find reliable information on stress is gramota.ru, which is a site created for Russians.

    It should be mandatory that bilingual dictionaries show stress , as well as irregularities in stress. Multitran shows word forms that's useless if it doesn't show stress.

    And yeh, I hate rabbits. I'm a great fan of RCD (rabbit calcivirus).

    I have a friend with the same problem. His surname is Березёнков, but the people who read it, pronounce Березенков. But we find a decision - we just call him Берёза.
    Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!

    It takes ages to clean them off my wheels when I run them over. Rabbit innards are like cement.

    We're on the subject matter, I would like to explain that I hate hate hate nouns with shifting stress. They drive me up the fucking wall.

    Смъртен глас ми се причува и отеква с вик далечен
    Как да зърна да погледна, чуждий образ да прегърна,
    на лицето ми студено грях в надежда да превърна.."

    Thank you. This is prove beyond a doubt that even English needs more letters...... hmmmmm.....perhaps an "A" with little dots on top!

    Поэтому наверное и проблемы с буквой Ё.

    Если ты здесь о создании новых слов, то русский в этом смысле мало чем отличается от английского.

    Я имею в виду следующее: если бы существовали определения букв Е и Ё, включающие в себя название, начертание и назначение, то проблема с употреблением этих букв исчезла бы сама собой. В математике если вводится в рассмотрение какое-то множество, то обязательно описываются свойства элементов этого множества. Иначе само множество лишено смысла. В нашем лучае множество - это множество букв, то есть алфавит.
    Например, кто-нибудь может мне объяснить, каково назначение буквы Л ?
