This is the logophile's verbal equivalent of the dress color debate or the audio name debate. Is it blue? Is it white? Did he say, "Laurel"? Did he say, "Yanny"?
Heteronym. My new word of the day. Funny, I've always just thought Polish...never even thought polish. I think my brain saw the captial "P" and well stopped there.
I wonder if the Polish/polish name was selected for its ambiguity or if it is just happenstance.
According to their "about us" page they are a design studio with 10+ people thats been operating out of Montreal Canada since 2010.
More importantly than "how do you pronounce Polish", is how do you have "10+ people"?... wouldn't that be 11 or 12, or 23...?
Normally I reserve the "+" for a quantity between numbers (0.5, 0.7 or 0.003174) or at least something over 100... or times when there is a solid number of things I recognize, but like one I'm not sure of... "there are ten squirrels in the tree, but there is something else up there... it could be a small arboreal penguin, but most likely it's a fat squirrel... I'll just say 10+ squirrels..."
"Well, it's ten plus because of Mr. Fuzzypaws, he's just a cat, but he has thumbs, tells great jokes and brings us coffee, so we consider him part of the team, but not officially on the payroll".
Or is there a like a hobbit that works there and they are not sure if really short middle-earth people count as full people?
Ten is like a pretty low number to add a plus to unless you have a sentient otter or something working there or you are about to fire someone, but you aren't sure when you are gonna do it... "Any day now Bob... any day... you f**k up one more time and it's an even ten people that work here!"
"We have ten people in the core team but may recruit more on a project-by-project basis." or "We have such a high staff turnover that any fixed number we put down will be obsolete by the time the webside update goes live."

I assume it's pronounced like the country.
It's pronounced "Throatwobbler Mangrove."
ah.. and here I thought it was Luxury Yacht...
Poland?
I've been wondering the same thing. Hopefully, Polish will come in and let us know.
HOW ABOUT THAT SZYMANSKI HEADER IN STOPPAGE TIME, ENGLAND?! HOW ABOUT THAT?!

Polska
I've been pronoucing it Pole-ish, but I've often wondered the same thing, especially given the quality of their products - could easily be Paul-ish
I meant to say it's pronounced like the demonym of the country.
a lot of if not all of the products attributed to this PA are conversions of ones by other artists.
some are named.
So I don't think it is one person rather a brokerage.

It's pronounced 'plish'. The 'o' is silent.

According to the statistics, a lot of families out there have 3.15 children, so it's nice to see that someone is giving those partial children jobs.
