Poles will hate me saying this, but I've always really struggled with their orthography, even though I am used to the Roman alphabet. I can see what is going on in Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian, maybe even Czech to some extent. Polish is bizarre. Szcz is one letter in Cyrillic. I'm still baffled by l with the line through it.

"Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz. Chrząszczyrzewoszczyce, powiat Łękołody".

Whenever I, Czech, try to read such stuff, I feel a bit high. As in "what funny mushroom did I just eat"?

Hearing spoken Polish, on the other hand, is quite positively magical. But the orthography is, well, necromancy.

    well, duh, it's from a comedy film script. It's exaggerated for fun.
