Strangely, I was always told, is written by "K", but I remember that the right to write "VeronikCa".
Stupid mistake with St. Petersburg) typo

I'll try to remember all of the fixes and will not be wrong!))

Maybe you'd like to correspond with me?)

I would like to correspond with you when I have some free time. I have been very busy with school and stuff so I haven't been online very much.
In English, my name is Jaden but my friends mostly just call me Jay. Names are kinda loose in America. "Veronica" is the normal spelling but Veronika works too.
Btw, I like "Sankt Petersburg" more than "Saint Petersburg" cause it's really more correct. It's like when people call "Москва", Moscow... It just doesn't sound right cause that's not how it's spelled. That's why I like to use the Cyrillic to type Russian words - it's less confusing.

Do not worry, I'll be glad to talk with you at any time, Jaden)
When a transliteration of my name in the passport wrote "VeroniKa". Most likely because of this I am writing as well.
Hm, Nic(k)a, too, will be written by "С"?
Yep, I agree with you. I think it's not quite right, write the names of cities and countries in every language in different ways.

The passport bureau in Russia often make mistakes when issuing foreign passports. In my current passport they used the 'name' ALEKSANDR - which is of course incorrect spelling. In my mother's passport they wrote NADEZDA - a letter is missing. So the people there are really illiterate.
