Before this gets too deep you may want to do some word research.
I know my spelling may not be the best. But first what does SymperFi mean to you. The true meaning comes from the Latin word Symperphydalas. Meaning forever true. It was adapted by the US Marines because they are forever true to the country and Corps. Tas Pravda Tovarish is a Russian newspaper which in it's name alone says true to the Communist Party. Question is. When you say SymperFi, who are you saying it to? If you are a true American and believe in the American ideas, Why are you reading Communist newspapers? Think about and have a good day COMRADE.
