That reminds me an old arictle in a leading Soviet newspaper where the
author
described new programming language Ada, which was sponsored by
Pentagon, as
"the language of thermonuclear hell". Surely, that author tried to
point out
on the same imagined proximity.
But in fact, Ada isn't sound like the Russian word for "hell". The
latter
has 2 letters, not 3, and it isn't even "ad" - that "ad" would be
straightforward
transliteration, but the Russian word for the hell is pronounced as
"ud" would
be pronounced in English.
Moreover, "Ada" is fully legitimate woman's name in Russia, anf not
too rare.
And although in Russian that name is pronounced much more closely to
the "ud",
nobody in Russia associates it with the hell.
Just to prevent misiformation,
