Absencewise

[m_o_s_s]

I always recognize Russian speakers, they speak Russian with a heavy absence of any accent.

When I speak in Russian, I am challenged by the absence of the word "challenged".

How often do you need to challenge somebody to a duel? In Russian I mean.
Кстати, «mean» - точно не хватает.

Да, "иметь в виду" is a mouthful.

С другой стороны, в английском явно не хватает "я тебя имел ввиду".
