I love linguistics.

Whenever the Lin Kuei go out on a mission, they probably use fake names that they draw out of a hat to avoid suspicion.

Bi-Han crossing fingers: Please don't be a awful name, please for the love of the gods-And it's Blake. Bland but it would be worse.

Cyrax: I got Conner. Not bad.

Kuai: I got Kandance...I don't know how to feel about this.

Sektor: For some reason, I got Simon. It just doesn't fit me.

Smoke cringing: I got Willow. It sucks. Can I pick another one?

Sektor: We don't have time for it.

Smoke groans.

Ha! But what if those dorks actually make up the weirdest name or pick the most difficult to say to mess up with people? I bet Tomas could pick Polish name like Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz just to be the pain in the ass while Kuai Liang and Bi-Han go with all the most unique variants of Ice or Cold in any possible language - or in case of Bi-Han, calling himself Shang Tsung just to irks one sorcerer if he is in mood to annoy him XD. Cyrax joins for the lulz, while Sektor is the only one trying to be not suspicious at all (and somehow always drawing the most attention because his life can’t be easy for once, not with those crazy bastards around 🤣)

But then again, Bi-Han may not bother at all; with the Mythologies: Sub-Zero's storyline, it seems he is destined for quick type of missions, as in get in, kill and/or steal and get out so I guess, one way or another, not many people will be left alive to tell his real name…

"He's OP" "She's OP" "They're OP"...

NO.

You know who's the real boss here?

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz.

(yes I just saw an old meme)

I believe Polish language is the best test for the russification level

[piduai]

I'm transitioning and am thinking of a new name - do you have any suggestions to maximise mispronunciations and mispellings? I was thinking of Bartholomew or maybe Ansel. Gender or coolness is irrelevant btw

Quwrof Wrlccywrlir. don't even hesitate about it

[deadgirlwalked]

Oh Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, we're really in it now

[wouldyourfavepaychildsupport]

Would grzegorz brzęczyszczykiewicz pay child support?

Are you Polish? Or where are you from? (Sorry, I read one of your fics [hot!] and I'm trying to fill one of the Fanfic Reading Challenge items about writers from different countries and I can only find people from USA or UK)

Yes, I'm Polish and from Poland.

But that sounds like one puzzling challenge.

update on my german glass: we’re trying to read polish names in german for reasons beyond my comprehension (but as someone who knows a bit of polish, i’m very entertained)

[blueflyingturtleontheway]

You'd think so! But the pronunciation rules we learn in school aren't exactly the same as how people actually use the language? At least they are 100% the same, because you have stuff like devoicing and the opposite process, many sounds that are written by various letters but sound the same (ó-u, ch-h, rz-ż) and like with every language, a word might not actually adhere to the Polish pronunciation rules if it's taken from another language! Take such a beautiful sentence as "siedzę na linie i maluję linie" where both "linie" not only mean different things but are also pronounced differently. And those are just the things I remembered off the top of my head! I know it's not exactly the consonant clusters, but I just find it fascinating that the Polish language isn't actually as logical as we think!

Tumblr in Polish looks so fucked like

Polacy: Moi mutualsi uwu

Tumblr: Osoby, które odwzajemniają twoje obserwowanie :)

[thepentangle]

Crazy how you can be the no. 1 player in the world for nearly a year and still get your name mispronounced in such grotesque ways by commentators umpires etc.

i think it would be funny if there was a character on house md called doctor brzęczyszczykiewicz like as one of house’s ducklings to balance out all the other basic names

[niofo]

what if anders' real name is grzegorz brzęczyszczykiewicz and he never shared it bcos he knew none of those losers would be able to repeat that and he didn't want to embarass them.
