In English this result is too funny! no offence to my Polish friends but didn’t anybody over there think about the name before they started?
Because it might make an Irishman snicker? 
It’s pronounced differently, most likely.
Yeah, it probably sounds like “peace”, not that other Gaelic word.
I thought Polish “s” sounded like English “ch,” but it might not have been Polish…I can’t really remember.
Usually in Polish the combination “sz” makes for an “sh” sound, “cz” for “ch”, “c” for “ts”, althought there are variations on that.
The Polish alphabet has so many crazy altered letters that I forget which ones make which sounds. 
And then there’s Hungarian which is pretty much opposite: “s” for “sh”, “sz” for “s”, “cs” for “ch”, “gy” for “j” sort of, “zs” for “zh”. And the vowels: run away.
TMI? 
No, it interests me greatly.
I wonder why Poland and Hungry didn’t just adopt the Cryllic alphabet or some variant thereof? The Latin alphabet doesn’t seem well-suited to either language (or English, for that matter)…
Well, Hungarian isn’t an Indo-European language and thus not at all closely related to Russian, so although I don’t know the sounds in the language, I don’t think the Cyrillic alphabet would have served its purposes any better than the Latin one. Polish is more closely related to Czech and Slovak than it is to Russian. I think it is just a matter of which alphabet a society was exposed to first—if they wanted to write in their own language, then it made sense to adapt the alphabet they were most familiar with rather than invent a whole new system of unique symbols.
Oh to hell with all this, let’s just form the Poo party and be done with it…
then we can all get drunk and play ping pong!
I’m picturing House saying every one of your posts.
ROTFLMAO.
(I actually scarffed the line from the Stonecutters episode of the Simpsons season 6…it’s one of Patrick Stewart’s lines, which makes it all the funnier, but I never thought of picturing House saying it! You’ve just made my day!)
I forgot to mention that ‘Poe’ is a rarely used English word meaning the pot that used be kept under the bed for those chores we now do in the toilet, but OC you folks already knew that.
Which reminds me isn’t there a poet called Edgar Poe?
Yes, but Alan.
