Actually one implied another. Russian is an inflectional language. The
words change their spelling according to the context. If used as
keywords, the result is not only long, it is an unreadable broken
language. For this reason Russian translations (like in the case of
Algol 68) used abbreviations, which were not only unreadable, but
inarticulate as well.
If anyone is unable to memorize a dozen English words, he should better
look for another job. (Maybe, as a project manager? (:-))
