Czeslaw Niemen

Following the recent discussion on Agnieszka Swita, I'm posting this.

Agnieszka is of Polish origin, but she isn't a Polish artist. Niemen, on the contrary, was Polish artist and worked in Poland. His name in Polish is spelled "Czesław Niemen". As you can see, the difference is minor -- just a diagonal bar across the "l" in the first name (it indicates that this "l" is velarised, as opposed to the regular "l", which is pronounced like, say, the French or German "l").

I half suspected as much, Fassbinder. No problem, but for future information you can click on your PC's start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Character Map and select the character with the accent, click on Select and then Copy and then you can paste the relevant accented character into the Message window (or Word or NotePad etc.) and complete the word or phrase. That would be very helpful and much appreciated by all the Errors & Omissions Editors. Many thanks in advance.

BTW, Fassbinder, for non-English words or phrases such as those mentioned in the second item in your latest post above, it would help us if you would write the word/phrase in your post as it should appear. I don't have access to a keyboard with Eastern European keys on it, so I have to use Accessories | System Tools | Character Map which is painfully slow. I do have access to a Portuguese & Spanish keyboard, but ś does not exist in those languages, so I still have to resort to Accessories | System Tools | Character Map. If you type it in your post then we can cut and paste the word/phrase. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.
