Spelling Errors in Postcard Messages

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to characterise the spelling errors observed in Polish postcard messages. The analysis of the source literature shows that so far little attention has been paid to errors occurring in unsupervised communication. For this reason, nearly 700 errors from around 3,000 texts sent via postcards in the second half of the 20th century were examined. The author discusses individual errors and presents their typology, concluding that the most common mistakes concern the conventional and historical principles of Polish spelling. This conclusion to a large extent confirms the results of previous research on the spelling practice of Polish speakers and the so-called “difficult words”.
