We have Charleston, the rest we’re sorry for.

Or Mis’sippi if you’re a southerner.

My husband just asked his mother for one of her rings she got in Ukraine 50 years ago, I love it for its sentimentality and it's beautiful. I would have been angry at him for purchasing a ring at $1600! I've never been comfortable wearing expensive pieces of jewelry and can't relate to women who want rings that shout "Rob me, this is worth a fortune!".

I laughed a little too hard at this.

She made a mistake because in russian the articles are attached at the end of the word. It's really weird for russian (and other people) when they start learning english to separate the articles and place them before the word. Also one thing I've always found strange (and difficult) about english is the complete lack of logic or reason behind spelling and pronunciation- you write "queue", but pronounce it "ku:". Or just think about how you would pronounce these three different sentences: "Today I will READ a book", "Yesterday I READ a book", "The cover of the book is RED". English is completely bonkers, what I like about russian is that 90% of the time what you write is what you pronounce.
