Misspelled Mozgov in the title

On purpose. ;) Actually spelled the way it's pronounced:

 

Final-obstruent devoicing:

Final-obstruent devoicing or terminal devoicing is a systematic phonological process occurring in languages such as German, Dutch, Bulgarian, Polish, and Russian, among others. In these languages, voiced obstruents become voiceless before voiceless consonants and in pausa.

 

Final-obstruent devoicing can lead to the neutralization of phonemic contrasts in certain environments. For example, Russian word "бес" ('demon', phonemically /bʲes/) and "без" ('without', phonemically /bʲez/) are pronounced identically in isolation as [bʲɛs].

 

The presence of this process in Russian is also the source of the seemingly variant transliterations of Russian names into "-off" (Russian: [-ov] "-ов"), especially by the French.

School Yourself More

 

Examples:

  • 'Ted Kotchev' = 'Ted Kotcheff' (Director of "Rambo: First Blood")
  • Dan Koloff (1892–1940), born Doncho Kolеv Danev - wrestler
  • John Atanasoff (a physicist and inventor,
    The 1973 decision of the patent suit Honeywell v. Sperry Rand named him the inventor of the first automatic electronic digital computer. His special-purpose machine has come to be called the Atanasoff–Berry Computer.)
     
    Atanasoff was born (...) to an electrical engineer and a school teacher Ivan Atanasov.

Ok.. lol.

 

Was just letting you know it was misspelled because it shows up on the Twitter feed and might turn away potential viewers.

I wouldn't worry about that. Besides, I prefer 'Mozgoff' spelled with the '-OFF' ending 'cause it brings a sense of demolition, destruction etc... ;)

Come to think about it - it's kind of random. It's gotta be some subconscious sick-mind association with:
