Much like Simone being a boy in Italian and a girl in French ;-)
Same for Andrea except that Andréa requires an accent ;-)

I like the words being in their local language and spelling, that's the 
spirit of their people.
This net is marvelous.
Learn the Cyrillic alphabet (easy) and you'll be amazed by the number of 
modern words originating in French-English that you will understand.  
Look up Google with ровать OR ировать, that's a suffix to turn a foreign 
verb to Russian.  Great fun!  You'll find people wondering if they must 
reinstallirovatj or reformatirovatj their PC.
This is worth the trip, too: http://maps.yandex.ru/

Nie reagirovatj, meaning please could you reply promptly, no, don't.
Sorry for being out of topic but that was just too tempting.

Andréa.
