History / The memory about the Invasion of Poland 1939 - today's events [26]
My family were not "ruling elites", they told me as it was, the good and the bad.
The Polish history I have read in the last 40 years backs them up.
That history was not written by ruling elites, in fact,some of it wasn't even written by Poles.
Ever heard of Norman Davies?
Read his history of Poland.
All ruling elites re-write history to cover their blunders

I don't have a problem with English adopting more simplified spellings as it will make it even easier for foreigners to learn.
The point that you seem to be missing is that the language is called English, not American.
More fool you.
RT is at least as bad as all those you listed.
The correct spelling is color, honor, and program

Sticking to the question posed as the title of the thread, it is without question, The Russians.
Germany ocuppied,suppressed and murdered Poles for five years,Russians did the same for over forty years.
No contest.

Not sure I agree with that.
Australian,New Zeeland,Irish,Scottish,Welsh and English accents all have their place.
I think many people are getting bored with the overkill of American English from TV and Movies.
In China, the fastest growing and largest population learning English, they are learning English English.
The US English is winning because this is where the money is for the singers, actors, and the writers

This is a question of race and nationality.
If your grandmother spoke Polish and had Polish parents.She was Polish.
But as Poland didn't exist at the time, she could not have Polish nationality.
Does that make her any less Polish?
I don't think so.

Poland is not too different from the rest of Europe in this respect.
English is by default the second language in Europe.
But this has no effect at all on the native language of the host country.
Only France tried to ban English words from their own language and that failed miserably.
European languages adopt English words and phrases just as English adopts words and phrases from all over the world.
Languages evolve constantly.
I really do not see this as a problem.
The fact that English is becoming the global "lingua franca" can only be seen as being a good thing.

Complete agreement.
In any case, Poles would never have been even capable of thinking of siding with Germans, even despite some fascistic Polish thinking at the time.
Poles as accomplices would lose their Eastern territory but wouldn`t be granted Western ex German lands. Poland would look like in 11th century

Yes but not similar enough to have more than just a basic conversation.
But the question is much deeper than that.

The country is so vast that it encompasses so many different people who are culturaly, ethnically and linguistically different.
I can't remember the percentage, but I recently read that a large minority of Russians do not speak Russian as their first language.
