textbook recommendation

[Kat Tancock]

Oh, relax. If Canadians can sit through that entire South Park movie and
even laugh, Ukrainians can certainly understand a slip of the tongue. Most
people say "the Ukraine" as an old habit, not as a means of stating that
they think Ukrainians are nothing but a subset of Russians. It will slowly
slip out of usage, and that's a natural part of the evolution of languages.
It's certainly not something that should be ignored, especially in written
publications, but in email or conversation?! I think we all have better
things to do and think about that this. And if not, we need to reevaluate.
