Mar 6, 2015 at 14:43 comment added Nick Cox I've made occasional weak jokes exploiting this. You can try it yourself: "This procedure has a flavour of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, but the flavour is more Smirnov than Kolmogorov". Even with a technically knowledgeable audience, it has to make sense in context.

Mar 6, 2015 at 10:08 comment added Nick Cox Others here can read, write and speak Russian, and I don't, but it's my understanding that the two surnames here really do end with the same letter, so should be transliterated in exactly the same way. I recollect seeing the -ff ending more frequently when I was younger, but regardless of that Kolmogorov-Smirnov now seems a universal convention in statistical literature in English.
