    the word horrible or terrifying reminds me of while i was in Ukraine a few years back....

    we were staying with a family who didn't speak english very well, and the daughter and her freind almost no english at all, so we tried our best to converse with them...so we carried around an english-russian dictionary with us...

    anyways...

    the event came up where the girls made something really cool...so we wanted to tell them, "thats awesome!!"...well we looked up "awesome" in their dictionary...and the word we found was "устрашающий"..so we told them they were "устрашающий".

    Now I know what a great mistake it is to try literally translating words from Russian to English...
    Иисус жил того, чтобы любить вас, а умер, чтобы спасти вас.

    wo yao nan peng you.
