I know that there have been a lot of hopes hung on the word "imminent" in the recent statement issued about accreditation. (see post below)

I thought a little word research was in order. I looked up imminent in a couple of dictionaries, and found the word немиуемыи (which is fun to say--nyemeeOOyemee).

My friend Nadya says this word actually means something you must get around, a crisis you must face.

An online translation from English to Russian gave me неизбежный. But, that translates as "inevitable" in my dictionaries and on the online site.

Interesting, eh? So while we're thinking that accreditation is going to happen very soon, it may actually be a crisis that is inevitable that we face.
