That's a problem with the voice recognition software and the person 
speaking the words that are to be rendered as subtitles. I'm not sure 
why names (especially non-British ones) can't be typed in, to avoid 
howlers like this.

I'd forgotten about the Lubicki -> Lubitsky pronunciation of Polish 
names. It's like actress Janine Duvitsky who anglicised the spelling of 
her surname to make the pronunciation obvious: it is actually spelled 
Drzewicki.
