History / How do Poles feel about 10th anniversary of 9/11 [40]
I was 15 and staying with my aunt in Williamsburg during that time... I remember everything that day. I was standing on the williamsburg bridge watching the towers collapse..
Also, my cousin, Edyta, worked in the south tower on the 37th floor, but her shift started at 9:30 am... she was riding on the subway as the north tower got struck by the plane..

News / What you think about parliament monarchy in Poland? Imperial Poland? [13]
Monarchies are soo medieval, and simply don't fit into our modern day societies. I don't know how or why the UK, for example, still has one. Japan, on the other hand, has an Emperor - one who basically has no political power whatsoever, yet is incredibly adored by almost every Japanese resident.

Language / Chcę and chce [21]
why do many Poles often neglect the final 'ę' in words??
my mother taught me to ALWAYS pronounce it clearly... like in the phrase 'Lubię Cię'.
Of course, since polish is generally spoken really quickly, that sound obviously would be omitted for the most part.
But still, just like when she pronounces the word 'język'... she doesn't say 'JEN-zyk', like soo many videos on youtube teach, for example... she says 'ję' nasalized! ~ THE PROPER WAY!.. like in french
I don't think it's even possible to spell it phonetically, when properly spoken, with a nasal.

Are there any regions in Polska today, which still speak with the pre-war accent?
I simply adore it.. especially in songs sung by Eugeniusz Bodo and Mieczysław Fogg, for instance. It was obviously influenced strongly by Russian, but sounded soo much more pleasant than today's Polish. :P
My mother was taught to speak it that way by her Belorussian mother back when was younger and living in Zabłudów, but she unfortunately adapted the modern accent upon moving to Gdańsk in the 80's, before she had us. :(

Language / Polish regional accents? [141]
you know, I'm actually curious as to which point of time following the war, did the accent actually change, or start changing, and how it became nation-spread.
I mean, with the pronunciation of hard/soft ł, and letter 'y' from yj/i in words. Also, they used to pronounce 'cz' as 'sz' in many words, primarily in cases where cz was proceeded by 'ł'.

Poles were always more high and mighty. :D lol

it's time to take out a big fat 'wite out' brush and rid of the mistakes.
Why is it ok for a Pole to be rightfully proud of their ancient Polish Slavic culture, yet here in England I am force fed this PC New labour created notion of Multiculturalism that decries me as a racist for being proud of English culture. And yes it is English culture not British for in Scotland or Wales, it is perfectly acceptable to be patriotic and nationalistic there(SNP Plaid cymru).
