At university a college pronounced 'machine' a bit like 'ma-shayna' (almost a bit Slavic? but totally on accident whatever it was). I loved it so much it stuck with me all these years, basically became headcanon.

Fuck, lol, well now I have to as well, since I was so committed.

Then again, I always pronounce whale-cum, cock-a-ccino, etc, what's one more ~~collage~~ college.
