You'd think Scientific American could manage to spell Sergey's name right.

- Crito 13y agoIn their defense, transliteration is weird. The spelling they used isn't one that Brin uses, but is one that is used for Сергей by other people. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9 http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5... "A male given name, Sergey or Sergei."
- packetslave 13y agoSure, I know people who spell it both ways, but in this case transliteration isn't an issue: you're talking about a public figure, the co-founder of Google, who's been in the US (and presumably spelling his name the same way) for 34 years. This is just the case of a writer and/or editor being too lazy to look up the correct spelling.
- 001sky 13y agoAre you trying to ad-hominem the author? I don't understand the purpose of a comment like this, otherwise. Transliteration and spelling are distinct words and concepts. Frankly this is NBD to someone who is worth $NBdollars.
