So if I just say П. О. then everyone will know I'm talking about software? I am trying to find the easiest way to say "software" in Russian, since I often have to use this word - and many Russians don't seem to understand the word "software". I just get blank kind of looks if I say "software".
It's better to say just "софт". It's kinda slangish but very widespread and understandable by almost everyone.
great...Quote:

Especially when you talk to people who lack basic computer literacy or who are not up to date with modern slang (like older people).Quote:
