Although I'd recommend you just to re-type some russian text (about 500-600 pages). By the end you'll be typing with the speed of a lightning.
Send me a PM if you need me.
I wouldn't bother. I hear they're going to switch over to the Roman alphabet any day now.

It's an economic thing, Ramil. Like when they dropped the твёрдый знак from the end of most words. Books like "Война и Мир" shrunk by 300 pages and they saved tons of money in ink and paper.Originally Posted by Ramil
English has 26 letters.
Russian has 33 characters.
Simple economics.

I can sell thiker book at higher price and gain profit
Consider:
Your expenses on each letter are 1 cent.
You sell 26 letters and gain 1 cent on each thus making 52 cents.
I sell 33 letters and gain 1 cent on each thus making 66 cents.
Your profit 52-26 = 26 cents
My profit 66-33=33 cents.
I'm richer

26 = 2^4.7Originally Posted by RavinDave
33 = 2^5.05
So a Russian letter carries a little bit more information than an English letter.
1945 = 2^10.93
A Japanese character carries two times more information than a Russian letter. 1945 is only recommended characters, if you count everything, you get even more.
Well, now let's count:
或日の暮方の事である - only 10 symbols.
Это случилось однажды под вечер - 27 symbols.
Which of the sentences needs more paper?
English as a Second Language by Jeff McQuillan and Lucy Tse.
Here is what I did: Bought a second bluethooth keyboard and removed the English labels and put on Cyrillic stickers.
It was torture for a month while working in "Anki" but now I can literally touchtype in Russian. Removed the stickers.
Pity my grammar skills don't match my touchtyping skills in Russian!
