SEEJ Transliteration Preference

[Beyer, Tom]

 For the past two years I have required authors in my Middlebury Russian
Series to replace transliteration with the actual Russian text. It looks
better, computers make it simple and I suspect the reding or deciphering of
transliteraiton will becme a lost art very quickly

Burying the "scholarly" system - for Russian anyway - is long overdue.
Puskin -
with or without the hachek - looks pretentious at best.
