What do you mean by "it"?
I'm not fluent in Polish, unfortunately. We moved to Austria before I could learn the language, a fact that makes me really sad. I know only enough of the language to go shopping, understand signs and ask my way around. Also the typical phrases to get food and drink and some curses.

I never knew, after all these years of being employed by and working with Polish guys, that "rz" was pronounced "sh".

There are different two-letter-combinations in Polish.

cz = a hard tsh sound.
rz = a soft sh sound.
sz = a hard/normal sh sound.

My mother grew up in a small village called Trzczynica - try pronouncing that, it will break out your teeth.

Dunno about breaking my teeth, but it put the baby to sleep

Ian in moderator player naming shocker! :eek:

I've noticed a handful of those, too, Ian.

They always give me a smile.

The next time? By then my memory will be gone and I'll have forgotten the name of the game I'm playing

I can't wait to see people use this thread as their excuse for naming players. You may have opened a Frankdora's Box with this thread, Ian.

That said, I rarely have issues with pronouncing those Eastern European names, but that one is far beyond anything I've ever seen.
