Polish w is pronounched like English v, and Polish cz is like English ch (also, Polish rz is like the s in measure, and Polish sz is like English sh). The Polish ch is like the ch in German (Bach) or Scots (Loch).<br /><br />If you can't pronounce the ch, k is a reasonable approximation, so it would be something like Stock-oh-veech.<br /><br />Caveat: The sz digraph also appears in Hungarian, where it's pronounced like an English s.<br /><br />Additional caveat: I don't know either Polish or Hungarian. I just looked this stuff up several years back because I wanted to know how to pronounce those funny-looking names.Brandon Berghttp://distributedrepublic.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-75220375984232792252009-09-13T17:32:04.291-04:002009-09-13T17:32:04.291-04:00The NYT is reporting that the killing was politica...The NYT is reporting that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/12/us/12slay.html?hp" rel="nofollow">the killing was politically motivated</a>.Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252946969701576139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-6491950645009994852009-09-11T23:10:36.092-04:002009-09-11T23:10:36.092-04:00Peter, it's not yet clear if he was shot while...Peter, it's not yet clear if he was shot while picketing, but it sure sounds like it since he picketed in front of the HS all the time.<br /><br />Also a HS is a fine place to picket with a pro-life message. How many of those teen girls are walking abortionettes just waiting for the opportunity?<br /><br />I'm waiting for the likes of <a href="http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/2009/09/04/quit-ignoring-health-care-reform-and-quit-demonizing-divorce" rel="nofollow">Amanda Marcotte</a> to get outraged by this murder of an innocent. Tiller was a murderer and a baby killer, he got what was coming to him. All this guy did, if he indeed was shot for picketing, was hold up signs that depicted graphic post-abortion pix.Elusive Wapitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825547465295622621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-31617716807179687072009-09-11T14:10:31.179-04:002009-09-11T14:10:31.179-04:00Is it even clear that the shooting was related to ...Is it even clear that the shooting was related to the victim's anti-abortion activism? If he/she were shot while picketing, that would be one thing, but a high school seems an odd place for picketing.<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
