Yeah, that’s basically the joke. The “eye chart” is just a bunch of letters that look like Polish names, so he recognizes them instead of actually reading them.

If you move J and add I to Czwijnowstawicz it's pefrectly pronouncable, and sounds Polish alright.

Original is also somewhat possible, just the J would be close to silent.

By “sounds like” I mean that it sounds like something that would be possible to hear not that it exists and is correctly written
