Hehe... the whole sub-thread wouldn't have started if Charles had used 
an upper case "p" for his "polish"... back in 1984, I read in the 
then-popular German computer magazine "RUN" an article about Forth, a 
programming language which just had been made available for the 
Commodore 64. I really do not know much about Forth, but I remember that 
its design strongly is based on stacks, which leads to a syntax which is 
rather strange compared to other programming language: the "Inverted 
Polish Notation". Obviously, (one of) the mathematician(s) who invented 
Forth hailed from Poland...
