Another classic:
What's long and hard and given to a Polish bride on her wedding day?
A new last name.
They could have just made sh, zh and ch sounds single symbol like other slavic languages that use latin alphabet.
We do have some of that though! But to make it harder, sometimes there’s both: ż and rz make the same sound, but some words use one and some use the other, to keep you on your toes
Is there any impact on reading speed due to this? Polish isn’t the worst possible slavic latin script I’ve seen by far. 🙃
I don’t think it makes any difference. I feel like most of the time the words are different enough that you can tell them apart at a glance. Though if you’re texting with someone and they don’t use polish symbols (e.g. they use z instead of ż), sometimes you need to put extra effort to comprehend what they meant
so could’ve English tbf
…it’s an old code, but valid, sir…
Digraphs were a mistake
Literal lols. 😆
