Several new spelling rules will come into effect next year in a bid to make the Polish language easier to learn and use, in its biggest shakeup in almost a century.

>in a bid to make the Polish language easier to learn and use
Yes, it was exactly this that was holding me back. I just lacked the confidence when speaking, worried about if I was going to correctly pronounce it Hotel or hotel.
Can’t wait to speak in fluent CAPITALS
Klawo bratku!
This is actually fantastic, I’ve learnt Polish in the last three years and I’ve always written it wrong because “nie” and “niby” would always make more sense to be written together with the word. At least for my Czech brain.
No more! I was right!!
As a native, I don’t understand what will change. I thought that these rules already applied.

Nobody has authority to change a language unless it naturally evolves into that form through use. Polish is not a programming language.
I dont need to know shit. I can use any language any which way I want.
> – Adjectives from personal names, like ‘szekspirowski’ (shakespearean), will be lowercase;
>
>
> – Names of public spaces will be capitalized, like ‘Park Kościuszki’ (Kościuszko Park), except for when the word- ‘ulica’ (street) is used, such as ‘ulica Józefa Piłsudskiego’ (Józef Piłsudski street);
So…
– “ulica Kościuszkowska” the “ulica “is lower letter, “Kościuszkowska” is capital letter.
– “Park Kościuszkowski” both “park” and “Kościuszkowski” ale capitalised.
– “powstanie kościuszkowskie” both are lower letter…
Yes, it makes it totally easier to learn.
