>> given the way Polish looks, she's in no position to complain

On the contrary. I think Polish is an easy language to learn. It may be hard to pronounce for non-native speakers but it's very easy to read and write. There aren't as many spelling and reading rules there, (almost none). It really is written the way it sounds.

It also has an almost non-existent sentence structure. Unlike in English where you have to follow a guideline of Subject Verb Object, in Polish you can mix it all you like because of Object suffixes and subject-to-verb agreement. SVO, SOV, VOS, VSO, OSV, OVS.
