This is a sign on the road to Budapesht near the border between Ukraine and Hungary. There's the weird insistence in Ukraine to do a one-to-one transliteration of Cyrillic to Latin without much thought, so Ш just becomes SH... Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YyzH7xx7gWNJCcqA6

In polish we say and write Budapeszt.

In polish you do almost anythig for those crazy Scrabble scores.

Polish Scrabble has just 1 point for Z. Meanwhile, the Czech spelling Budapešť uses the 7-point Ť!

First I didn't know what was wrong, only saw the cyrillic version. Then I noticed they transcribed it back to Latin in a different way to the original - that's mindblowing! I also kinda read it as bud ape shit.
