i work as a waitress, and last night a russian family came in to the restaurant where i work. i spoke to them in english, and after hearing their accent, i asked if they were russian. they seemed slightly annoyed, but i took their order in russian and it was a wonderful experience for me. however, i was wondering if russians living in america get sick of being asked about their origins by russian students? is this irritating at all? i could imagine being annoyed by people trying out english on me, so i was worrying that i had offended the family.

also, i found this site of swears and vulgar language...i know it isn't appropriate, but often people in this community ask about colloquial vulgarity, and this page seemed to be full of it. http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/russian.htm

thank you.
