In Ameryka, Poland

[Nelson Atwell]

My daughter and I took photos at Ameryka, Poland a couple of months ago. It is a small village of just a few houses, but it did make us feel a little closer to home.

Pretty close in spelling. Is it pronounced the same?



I got stranded in Germany a few years ago and ended up staying in a town that had the same sounding name as my home town, spelled a bit different though...

Coastie,



It is Polish spelling, but pronounced exactly like we pronounce it.

Get used to the spelling if Hillary gets into office ..

Why is that? Is she going to run with Dan Quayle as her Vice-President?

 

[Tom Schindler]

Get used to the spelling if Hillary gets into office ..

That would be a pleasent change from all the backwards R's we now use.

Really? I have only been gone for less than a year. When did this happen??

 

[Nelson Atwell]

You know it only looks like a backwards "R". It is actually the Cyrillic letter, pronounced as "Ya". In Russian and some other Slavic languages, this letter is used as their word for the English word, "I". The Polish spell it in their alphabet as, "Ja".
