Zhukov

The letter in Zhukov's name is one of my favorite in the Cyrillic alpahbet: Ж.

if you can't be bothered finding the keystrokes to produce ž

A single keystroke (6, you press Shift-6 for the digit) if you have a Slovak keyboard installed.

Are you a professor of linguistics?

No. I used to be an adjunct professor of computer science for a while back before the Internet economic bubble burst. My degree in linguistics is an AB, but I have continued reading and studying the field since leaving the old alma mater. I work as a technical writer and programmer in the computer industry.

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
