    Well, you learn something every day - have decided to start taking Russian lessons to supplement what I have picked up over the last year.

    The verb "pisat" means to write. That is, as long as you put the stress on the first syllable - "PIsat". If you stress the second syllable instead - "piSAT", it now means "to piss" instead. Which could lead to some uncomfotable situations......
