Language /
"sorry" instead of "przepraszam" [76]
Sorry Michał, the Poles do respect their own language. Look at English, we took on board a lot of French words but it didn't dilute our liking for our own language, it just gave it a different dimension. U sound like a puritan who wants a pure language. Language evolves, look at Japanese. U have menus in hiragana with words like tori (kurczak) and, on the katakana menu, there is chikinu (chicken). One syllibary is pure Japanese and the other (katakana) is the English-Japanese version. It doesn't present a problem. The key purpose of language is communication and being understood. Not adopting a pompous, moaning approach. Let people speak as they will speak and u can speak ur communistic strain of Polish. As for ur workshop comment, well, Profi-Lingua say warsztaty. My girl also used warsztaty, she'd never heard of workshopy being used.
