It describes 20 scandals within the automotive industry and looks like a fun read. If it's interesting I may summarize it for you at some point. Unfortunately, it's in Polish so I'm not sure any of you would be able to read it.

"Unfortunately, it's in Polish so I'm not sure any of you would be able to read it."
Don't you have something like seven tenses? It's no wonder you lot managed to crack Enigma - it must have seemed like plaintext compared to Polish.

English has 16 tenses, doesn't it? :]
If you asked a random Pole how many tenses their language has they'd reply that it has 3. Lingusists cant really agree on the matter and depending on the definition of 'tense' they say that there are between 3 and 7 tenses.
I found Uncyclopedia's article on Polish quite amusing.

Oh, did I mean cases, perhaps? We don't really have formal grammar at all in English, these days.
I like the Uncyclopedia article. Funnily enough, I can read Polish - as in read, not understand - and get the right sounds fluently in my head without any trouble with the orthography, but when I try and pronounce the words I sprain my tongue.

Probably everyone has seen this before, but a discussion about the difficulty of Polish just can't go on without this being posted.

No, I'd never seen that. That's awesome. Although it's missing the last part of the trick, where when you're asked to spell it, you claim not to be able to read or write.
I'll have to find subtitles and watch the rest of that film.
