Site photo question

[LookAfter#1Participant 352]

Im sorry for the very random question…

If you click on Forums on the top right hand corner of the page. It brings up different photos for each forum.
I was looking at the photo for the “MGTOW Questions and Answers forum” with much interest as its not often you see a typewriter these days.
I was trying to figure out what different buttons and levers on the typewriter did? Then I noticed, is that typewriter in Russian !

Interesting question. Quite possibly. I just looked up the Russian Alphabet and there is a “reverse N” looking character for H. And it’s not rare to see an “x” in the middle of a word.

Good eye!

Maybe our esteemed member Russky (or another) can chime in on this.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

In Russian, the Х makes the sound of an English H—well, not quite. It’s closer to the -ch in “Loch-ness monster”

The И makes the sound of ee in feel.

Don’t f~~~ing ask me what ь or ъ do; it’s a goddamn mystery.
