To Admiral (in reference to his gradings above):
Not so fast, tovarisch Admiral! \"Feasibility\" and \"practicality\" are the two of the (best) meanings of целесообразность. Please buy another dictionary:-).

More for Admiral personally:
I am sort of thick and tired of your arrogant attitude. You seem to play a teenage chat room flamer itching for a fight. This is a rather pathetic behavior, given the distances and the international borders. I don\'t see any _practicality_ (look a word up in a real dictionary for a change) in any further communication w/you. Therefore, I will appreciate it if from now on you pretend I am not here.

disagree  Alexander Onishko: practicality это - "сущ. 1) практицизм, практичность, 2) чаще мн. практические стороны (какого-л. дела, ситуации)" - а никак не "целесообразность" - я бы посоветовал вам почаще заглядывать в словарь :)

  -> There are English-to-Russian dictionaries and then there is the English language. If you ever plan to become a decent translator, I would seriously advice to to take this fact into consideration.

substantiation


Explanation:
perhaps 'motivation' & 'reasonness' as a European alternative to US 'reasonability' (both are considered as synonyms in Random). Good luck, JWeinsoff!
