ktpbkk

[pne]

On the way home from voting, I saw a car advertising a health insurance, the ktpbkk (written something like that -- BKK is short for Betriebskrankenkasse, a health insurance company insuring primarily the employees of a specific company).

And the first thing I thought when I saw ktp was kaj tiel plu; my mind nearly immediately "resolved" the abbreviation, even though it's quite unlikely that that's what was meant :)

(Apparently, it's the "BKK Krupp Thyssen Partner".)

Yeah, it's always unlikely to encounter Esperanto in the wild.
I usually mentally read ktp as "ko to po", which is what a lot of people also say even in normal speech.

Whenever I see a TAXI sign in my rear-view mirror I have to remind myself that ИХАТ is not a word.
