Ortografi a w urzędzie, czyli o tym wszystkim, o co urzędnicy chcieliby zapytać językoznawców
Orthography in the office, that is about all that clerks would like to ask linguists

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents orthographic problems related to spelling in official documents. One of them is the use of capital letters and typefaces in names of EU programmes, priorities, actions and projects. Codification does not sufficiently allow for such names and therefore only preliminary suggestions of regulations based on usage can be presented. Another problem is spelling of titles of domestic and EU legal documents. There is consistence in usage and regulations regarding the language of the law, which should be taken into account when changing rather inappropriate regulations provided for in orthographic dictionaries. The last two issues, which are briefly discussed, are new propositions of acronyms of code names, which reflect the spelling of whole names, and a change regarding the use of hyphens in names of districts / parts of cities, such as Warszawa-Środmieście. Due to numerous doubts provoked by this type of spelling, return to the spelling without a hyphen might be considered.
