Russian as she is writ (continued)

[John Dunn]

Thanks, Will, for the link.  That there might be some incompatibility between the words 'salmon', 'edible' and 'Neva' was, I admit, a possibility that had already occurred to me, and therefore while it is thoughtful of you to volunteer my services as SEELangs official food taster, it is an honour that I will gladly cede to someone else. 

John Dunn.

John, I think the answer is that drop-outs go into the more expensive
end of the deli business and probably earn more than university
teachers. See the label on
http://www.hvanwijnensalmonsmokers.com/company/brands/  It reads "Newa
gerookte Zalm  kaptsjonnaja lasosj NEWA products, tantalizing smoked
salmon with a twist." You will notice that the Russian words all have
the stress marked and are spelled with akanie. Edible Neva salmon can't
be very common - you should have bought some.
