Here's my review of Amazon's pink MoMoOne Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo. Note: this pink keyboard and mouse set is currently sold out, but the blue and white version is available. I ended up not loving this product, and bought this replacement pink keyboard instead. If you are looking for a keyboard and mouse combo that is stylish and functional, the FD Wireless Keyboard Mouse Combos Set is the perfect option. This set is designed for both PC and Mac users. The keyboard has a slim design that makes it easy to take with you on the go, and the mouse has an ergonomic design that provides extra comfort. Plus, this keyboard and mouse combo set is very affordable at $35. Aesthetics The aesthetic light pink color on both the keyboard and mouse is adorable. I love it. Honestly, if the keyboard and mouse worked as well
What Are the Origins of the Cyrillic Alphabet and Where is it Used?

Regardless of if you're traveling to Russia, or learning to speak Russian, being able to read the Russian or Cyrillic alphabet is an important skill to have.
What is the Cyrillic Alphabet
The
Cyrillic Alphabet is one of the most widely used alphabet scripts in
the world with approximately 250 million active users. The basic script
for Slavic languages contains 49 letters: A, Б, В, Г, Ґ, Д, Ђ, Ѓ, Е, Ё,
Є, Ж, З, З́, Ѕ, И, І, Ї, Й, Ј, К, Л, Љ, М, Н, Њ, О, П, Р, С, С́, Т, Ћ,
Ќ, У, Ў, U, Ф, Х, Ц, Ч, Џ, Ш, Щ, Ъ, Ы, Ь, Э, Ю, and Я. Different letters
may be used in non-Slavic languages, as well as there are characters
that may be used in historical texts that are no longer used. Also, a
language may choose (and most do) to not use all 49 characters, for
example, the Russian language only uses 33 letters.
Where is the Cyrillic Alphabet System Used
Cyrillic
tends to be used in mostly Slavic countries, former Soviet Union
states, parts of Asia, and Eastern Europe. The Russian language is only
one of the many languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet; other
languages include the Slavic languages Bosnian, Belarusian, Bulgarian,
Macedonian, Montenegrin, Russian, Rusyn (a dialect of Ukrainian that is
sometimes treated as a distinct language), Serbian, and Ukrainian. Other
lesser known non-Slavic languages use a Cyrillic alphabet as well, such
as Bashkir (spoken in Kazakhstan and regions of Russia), Kildin Sami
(spoken by people on the Kola Peninsula), Komi (used in the Northeastern
European region of Russia), Mongolian (official language of Mongolia),
Tajik (a version of Persian used in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), Yupik
(spoken in Alaska and Siberia), and many others.
The Origins of the Cyrillic Alphabet
The
invention and spread of the Cyrillic alphabet, like so many other
language attributes, can be credited to religious men. Fourth century
monk from present day Macedonia named Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius
who brought the alphabet to the Slavs during the Bulgarian Empire as a
way to spread their teachings by modifying the Greek alphabet to better
fit the Slavic alphabets. It was decided that it was a more beneficial
alphabet to write church teachings in. Through the two brothers and
their disciples the alphabet spread.
The original version of Cyrillic is now known as Old Church Slavonic
and can be found in many Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic rites.
However, through the years through use, academics, and politics the
alphabet has greatly changed to fit the different regions, languages,
and dialects creating many Cyrillic subsets.
