History / Polish mathematicians who solved the Enigma machine [86]

Thank you for the information in this posting. I knew the story, but didn't know about the monument in Poznań. I hope to see it next summer.

Travel / Hiking around Zakopane/ Tatra mountains [22]

Please understand some trails were or are still closed because the Zakopane area received rainfall that created flooding in early July. Trails need to be repaired for safety. Nothing is done to inconvenience you all personally.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

I have flown Chicago to Warsaw 4 times and also Warsaw to L'viv with LOT and have nothing but positive things to say about LOT. The service is good, I like the food, the Warsaw to L'viv plane was much more comfortable than what I'd expect for a short haul in the U.S.

If it's Americans complaining the only thing I can think of is that Poland starts on the LOT plane. The food is definitely Polish which I find to be a treat. However, if one is expecting LOT to serve food like Midwest US than passengers will be disappointed.

Language / Your perception of the Polish accent [145]

I teach students from around the world who are using English as a language in addition to their native language. They all have an accent based on their native language. I think I and many others don't think a thing about accents. And what indeed is an American accent? People in one part of the country have an accent quite different than others.
