Poor Oksana Kyzyma! How wrong she is on all counts. Yet typical of the arrogance that leads some to dictate how others should speak their own language. Reminds me of Turkish students who insist that the name of their country in no longer 'Turkey' in English, but 'Turkiye'. Apparently because they got some one in the UN to agree with them.
Thankfully, we in the anglophone world do not suffer from this blinkered view of language!
