> I think Poland is better off not using Cyrillic for political reasons

Not sure anyone implied that Poland should use the Cyrillic alphabet...

> On a practical side - even if you know Cyrillic, lowercase letters are kinda awkward to read at a glance - very blocky, way less a/descenders, many look alike and they are a lazy copy of upper case.

> And Cyrillic cursive is a nightmare.

Sorry but Cyrillic cursive is 90% the same as Latin cursive
