What about Ms? Feb 23, 2014

Perhaps they meant a neutral form Ms, or do you think they really wanted to reintroduce Miss? This sounds very interesting.

Niech Pan... Feb 23, 2014

Hi. What do you mean by Polish using the third form (he/she) in addressing people politely?

Forms like "Niech Pani/Pan sprobuje wytrzymac". We, basically, use a third person pronoun (Pan/Pani is grammatically closer to pronouns in this case) for addressing a person.
