Question to #English speakers. I've heard a weird pronunciation of the Polish "PKP" initialiasm in the English passenger information on some PKP InterCity trains, and I'm wondering if anyone could explain it to me.
The Polish pronunciation is roughly "peh-kah-peh" /pɛ ka pɛ/. I imagined the English would pronounce it as "pee-kay-pee" /piː keɪ piː/. However, it is pronounced as "peh-kah-pey" /pɛ ka pɛɪ/. Any clue why the ending was changed like that?
[EDIT: it was immediately followed by "Intercity", so perhaps it made combining both easier.]

When used as an adjective, it's not "greenlit". It should be "green-lighted". Lit is the past-tense verb, usually. Things that wind me up. #english #american

I’d like to think that I have a really good grasp of English, but I still have to look up the definitions of ‘alternate’ vs. ‘alternative’ to know which one to correctly use.

AI translation can't get any wronger: The Kannada word "ಪ್ರಾಣಾಂತರ್ಗತ" (ISO prāṇāṁtargata) or the variation ಪ್ರಾಣಾನ್ತರ್ಗತ (prāṇāntargata) actually means "resident in [part of] breath [life]".
