Nearly 10,000 English words and phrases, representing American usage in science, technology and everyday life, are translated by the author into Ukrainian. Many Ukrainian words are listed in the traditional Ukrainian form that was in use prior to the official Soviet Russification policy of 1933, 1942 and 1960.
