The ‘reset’ fiasco, in which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov a button that was supposed to say “reset” but actually said “overload,” is even more absurd than has been reported.
The button was labeled “PEREGRUZKA,” the transliterated version of “перегрузка.” So, not only did the Obama State Department neglect to check an online translator to find out that the word should have been “PEREZAGRUSKA” (“перезагрузка”), but they printed it on the button in Latin rather than Cyrillic letters.
