Communication also consists technically of burps and flatulence, but what then separates us from the four-legged variety of animal? I find Polish infinitely more consistent than English spelling..any day!

Ck. out the sophisticated dialogue from classic Hollywood movies for ORDINARY Americans in the '4O's through the 6O's and tell me English is so simple. Our morphology may be transparent, our lexic and idiom?? Don't think so-:) Forget about tour orthography.

NO language has a monopoly on difficulty! English is labeled as "easy", while to communicate both correctly as well as coherently (much less completely idiomatically) among most Europeans,, seems but a Sissyphussian task, save for all but the rarest of prodigies. A bit of the proverbial double standard once again-:)

Poland initially saw some value in allowing the Jews in, therefore it was only natural that the Jews felt they owed something to their adopted Ojczyzna!

@Rich's not only an anti-Semite, but a mega hypocrite to boot. He speaks a language other than Polish but does that make him a non-Pole?! In addition, his espursions re: assimilated European Jews is straight out of "The Eternal Jew" by Fritz Hippler.

The early Jews were typically not allowed in most creative endeavors, school quotas and the like (even art schools!). Therefore, with precious few exceptions such as the incomparable Edith Head neé Horowitz, Bernard Herrmann, Miklos Rosza, directors Lewis Milestone, Henry Koster ("The Bishop's Wife") etc., most Hollywood Jews ended up as ruthless, cut-throat money men further fueling anti-Jewish stereotypes.
