a friend shared a screenshot of an hr fic with me & it's been haunting me ever since... begging hr fic writers to understand how languages work. Ilya would ABSOLUTELY KNOW what the words "experiment" and "laboratory" are. Long English words =/= incomprehensible to foreigners! They're often THE SAME

With the some of the deeply stupid ways I've seen Ilya being written, I'm not surprised. 🫤

that's.. well, that sure is something. Those examples are easy for Google Translate (let alone a sensitivity or beta reader) to pick up on or confirm, at least. like, just a little thought put into the foreign language [and culture] you want to use. please fandom, I'm begging you.

laughing, I had a whole conversation with a guy i did pain rehab with who also had swedish as a second language where he was like. its so much easier when doctors use technical language than when they try to simplify... those words are basically the same... and he was RIGHT

In Russian, laboratory is...laboratoria. Experiment is......wait for it.....experiment. Please for the love of god look these words up before you assume Ilya wouldn't know them.

What do you MEAN non-native English speakers don’t communicate exclusively in grunts like cave men???? 🙃

Especially science words, which often come from Latin, no matter what language you speak.

Yeah, hate the assumption that long words would be difficult for an ESL character (and specifically Ilya) to understand
