[mova] The State Department opts for Kyiv

[Mykola Ponomarenko]

And I say

That French would consider as insult to discuss French word pronunciation in
English spelling!

So do I consider you нікчемими докторами без роду to discuss Ukrainian in
English.

Меншовартісні байстрюки!
Розмовляйте своєю мовою,
а не випендрюйтесь умом на чужій.

Микола Пономаренко
