Semenovich

:lol:

I hate that transliteration. :lol:  It's totally wrong, although it is hilarious.

Well, a transliteration that would capture the pronunciation better would be "Syemyenovich".  But we usually dispense with the y's.  Much like we use "Gorbachev" instead of "Gorbachyev".

E is one thing, Ё is another, but I looked it up and I guess it actually is Cеменович and not Cемёнович. -_-

But really, aren't we all sons of semen?

Actually, they're pretty much the same letter, with Ё (pronounced "yo" vs. "ye") often just indicating where the stress is.  They're similar enough that in typed Russian, you'll almost never see the umlaut, even if the pronunciation is "yo".  Often makes it a pain for schmucks like me to figure out where the stress is.  :P

Instant Yakisoba is the best thing ever. Why oh why do we just get pot noodle rameny stuff in the west.

I still say it's totally different.  One's a variant of O, one's a variant of E (from my Western Christian perspective, anyway).

Holy Moly!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
