I have posted correct information like that on Reddit and have been downvoted for providing sourced information. That really discourages my participation. Why try?
I have to brag on Lemmy.world.
This place is friendlier, and a much better place to interact with others. Oh, there’s still a down-vote brigade, but it’s much smaller.
Reddit may still have a huge user base, but it’s becoming facebook-esque; that is, people go to it because they know it, and nothing else. This place is so much better.
I think rz is linguistically equivalent to a soft r, so in this case rze would be “ре”, not “ж”. In some areas, rz is pronounced closer to the Czech ř. IIRC, ж transliterates to ż (not to be confused with ź, which is a soft z). The Polish Roman alphabet is very regular and well adapted to the language, representing palatalization and other non-Latin sounds as digraphs in a similar way to Italian or English.
The cyrillicization of Polish was historically done to a limited extent, but carried with it some, shall we say, sociopolitical baggage. There are also some peculiarities to Polish that either don’t exist or have ambiguous transliterations into Cyrillic, such as the Polish nasals ą and ę or ó (historically a long o, but currenly pronouned /u/).
The vampire show? I never could get into it, even after watching several seasons, and thoroughly enjoying the actors’ skill levels. But that theme song… I have it on my music player. It’s so good!
