Polish term or phrase: Specyfika
Niezwykle zyczliwe grono osób starało się zaspokoić nasze dociekliwe pytania, które ze względu na NASZĄ SPECYFIKĘ były dla nich często niezrozumiałe.

Chyba chodzi o to ze Polka grupa pań z administracji wybrała się na wizitę do "zachodniego" Uniwersytetu zeby zobaczyc cuda-niewidy i dlatego uzyte jest słowo "nasza specyfika". w ogóle nie wyobrażam sobie jak można coś takiego napisać. Może się mylę ale dla mnie ma to znaczenie jak najbardziej pejoratywne.

Szczególnie po przeczytaniu tego bełkotu administracyjnego. Tak jak pisał Aleksander Tobolewski te raporty pisane są przez osoby kture władają "dziwaczną polszczyzną" :)))))

English translation:due to our specific or unique nature
Explanation:
due to our specific or unique nature were often hard to understand (I wouldn't use misunderstood here, although it might seem appriopriate. Missunderstood has a different connotation)
