The Secretary and the Reset Button (A case for promoting U.S. Russian language study)

[Dustin Hosseini]

Just to add my own two cents, why hasn't anyone thought of simply the word
'Reset' in English and/or Russian?  

Walk into any Russian office where there's a computer, and then when Windows
decides to freeze, hang, or stop working, that Russian office worker in
front of the paralyzed computer might try CTRL ALT DEL so that the computer
can be restarted.  

But if that doesn't work, that poor soul is bound to push the 'reset'
button, which is clearly marked on the case of the computer.  As some of my
friends have said, they'd press the button called ресет in this case.  

Best,

Dustin
