Sculpture

So, a sculpture is going to be erected to the letter "Ё" in Russia. This is after locals objected because of the connotation the letter has with certain unsavory Russian phrases. This objection initially struck me as odd, until I recalled my tutor saying that she doesn't even like using words that contain the sound "bl" somewhere in them...because that sound appears in a particularly unsavory Russian word.

After seeing this I shall be looking for a monument to the letter "F" somewhere in the states.

Oh, and for some reason the letter "Ё" is showing up in my browser as the letter "K" in that particular story. If ti does the same in yours, that might explain your confusion when reading it.
