It’s an English language thing. We love to insert a vowel between two consonants. Husq-a-varna for Husqvarna, Real-a-tor for Realtor. Show us a Polish word or name and we cannot even get started on the pronunciation. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Thank you, OP. As was explained to me in the Ordnance Officer Basic Course, sometime in the 15 or 1600s the English used one (ordinance) to address construction of roads, bridges, buildings, etc; and the other (ordnance) specifically for military equipment (firelocks, cannon, edged weapons). At least that's what they told us. Maybe people back then were, like today, just shitty spellers. | |||
