   No, it is not. In Russian, for example, it is very hard to automatically
change a word - Russian is very computer-unfriendly :) There are far too
many rules, conditions, exceptions and so on.
   On the lighter side - it has very simple rules of pronounciation. Unlike
that damn English, that has exactly One Rule of Pronounciation: every word
is an exception :)))

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
