eithedog posted:This is very true - my simple Paul = Paweł gets slaughtered all the time (my friends pronouncation of it ranges from Pavel to Pafeu) Correct me if I'm wrong (and I should know this, I'm half Polish), but isn't Polish written in Latin letters basically as a "gently caress you" to Russia, even though it would look simpler in Cyrillic?
