A lot of the Russian men don't wear caps. Do they know something we don't?

    When in doubt check google. A google search for 'плавание без шапочки' (swimming without cap) turns up a discussion (in Russian) on the subject, translated here. (Russian lesson: Шапочка is a feminine noun that means 'cap', and the preposition без (without) takes genitive case so it's без шапочки.) translate.google.com/translate Thank you David. What I learned from that thread is that statistical based machine translation is an area that still needs more research and development. If you figured out why elite Russians have not been wearing a cap when competing at international championships, could you share?
