That's because they don't want to adopt the cyrillic alphabet
latin doesn't have the slavic sounds so they resort to all kinds of arcane letter combinations to write them down.

Well that's not true,
there's other languages that use the same alphabet with different sounds
... for instance the most common: "J" - is it pronounced (English word sounds) "jay" or "yay"
English wasn't the first language to use the "Latin" alphabet, so the English sounds are not necessarily the correct sounds either. The frogs have same alphabet but a lot of completely different sounds, they weren't first either, and for most of the alphabet nor was it the Latin regions that used it first either.
Most (not all) of the letters are from an older form of Goth, and guess what: a many of the original pronunciations resemble Crylic sounds more then English sounds, and some are the other way...
Ergo: it's wrong to say the Czeck's are abusing the Latin alphabet or as you put it: using "arcane combinations." English does the same exact thing.
Damn it's hot, tijd voor een Ysje.

Report claims fraud in Frenchwoman's 'oldest-ever' world record[^] Not really what it seems. She's French and after sixty they have ever so much trouble with numbers.

There has been some discussion about the best place to cut someone open to count rings. I have no tangible advice with regards to the correct location.

Well, the obvious thing to lop off, because its lack of skeletal support makes it a simpler operation, would not be any good for dating women.

I thought French women were best just prior to 70.

The 60 has to do with their lack of a number for 70, 80, 90, . . .

As far as frenchmen go, and they go pretty far, even an empty escargot shell will suffice . . . . . . .

"Zak suggests that in 1934 it was not Calment's daughter Yvonne who died of pleurisy, as official records say, but Jeanne Calment herself. Yvonne then took on her mother's identity in order to avoid paying inheritance tax."
I can believe that entirely.
