Poles must be conceded a great deal of retaliatory freedom in the
matter of inventing 'foreign' names.

A parenthesis-free notation devised by Jan Łukasiewicz---It is
presented in a footnote in his classic little English-language book on
the relationships between Aristotelian and modern logics---is called
Polish notation in English because anglophones are judged to be too
language-challenged to pronounce "Łukasiewicz".
