Ok, where does the word Robot mean, and where does it come from? I have the source text infront of me, but it is a question for my students, but everyone can play.
i have extra information from the surprising coincidence corner. I met my friends sister last week whom I haven't seen for over a year. Past summer she travelled with her boyfriend to The Jewish Autonomous Oblast at the very end of Russia, bordering with China, 200,000 inhabitants living on 36,000 sq m. strange. the capitol is called Birobidzhan and that's a good name, that. So getting to Birobidzhan requires a week on the Transsiberian and I was asking her how that goes, a week on the train and she said, we met some nice French backpackers and the girl surprised me, she was reading R.U.R.
While robot means robot even in Polish, rabat can mean a discount or a patch of flowers.
I thought I'd responded to this already. This was an amazing post. I've never even seen another copy other than the one I have, which was a gift. And I've never heard of the JAO. I must check this out. Thanks! Found some web sites, and stuff on the net. Neat.
