[Surname] Re: Lyszczarz - what's the most Z's you've ever heard in a last name?
szcz in Polish = "щ", romanized as "shch" which is only 1 letter in the Cyrillic alphabet as opposed to 4 letters in Polish using the Latin alphabet! Lyszczarz = Лйщарз in Cyrillic alphabet which = 6 letters as opposed to 9 letters in Polish using the Latin alphabet! People will say it's a crazy idea, but since Polish is a Slavic language, I believe they should start using the Cyrillic alphabet for ease of writing.
