Nie chowajmy polszczyzny do grobu. Nazwisko też się odmienia!

In brief

Michał Jędryka argues that people should stop avoiding the grammatical declension of Polish surnames and place names. Writing for Aleteia Polska, Jędryka suggests that failing to decline these names harms the Polish language.

He uses the town of Suchy Las to illustrate his point, noting that the name naturally changes forms in Polish grammar, such as when saying one is going to or living in Suchy Las. Jędryka claims that people have become afraid to decline proper names, which he views as a mistake.
