The Google search requests reveal that only a tiny percent of people from the Ukraine use the Ukrainian language for it, while the overwhelming majority sticks to Russian. The official promotion of the Ukrainian has reduced itself to the war of attrition against the Russian language: the 4th in its influence among the 5 major vehicular languages of the world.

ANY THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THE LANGUAGE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE FACTOR OF AMBIVALENCE: "Accepting that no two consciousnesses can ever have transparency, or at any rate can never have certainty about it, leaves us on some level cosmically alone," Sullivan writes. "Spinoza takes the notion in stride. He'd be more prone to say, Well, no doubt we sometimes understand each other." |
“When people talk, they do a lot of role-playing, side-step, shilly-shally, and engage in other forms of vagueness and innuendo. We all do this, and we expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for plain speaking, for people to get to the point and say what they mean. Such hypocrisy is a human universal. Even in the bluntest societies, people don’t just blurt out what they mean but cloak their intentions in various forms of politeness, evasion, and euphemism.” [Pinker, 2007: 374] |
If you’ve ever tried to explain a meme to your grandparent – or if you’re the puzzled grandparent – you know how big the cultural divide among generations can be. And while all-caps ‘yelling’, misunderstood emojis and other crossed wires are harmless in a family group text, business communication is maymore fraught.

«С нынешними способами общения гораздо больше шансов на недопонимание», - говорит Жизель Ковари, исследователь поколений и президент консалтинговой фирмы n-gen People Performance, Inc. в Торонто. «В цифровой среде много шума, и если мы не болтаем вживую, вещи могут быть неправильно истолкованы. Молодым работникам официальное деловое общение старшего поколения может показаться очень холодным и немного резким, в то время как молодые люди критикуют себя слишком непринужденно ».
