While in standard Polish genitive singular of masculine nouns has two endings, -a and -u, in Canadian Polish -a is predominant (koniaka, termometra, pomysla), though unexpected--u forms can be found as well (cieniu, sierpniu), probably due to the tendency to use familiar forms and thus increase syncretism (the -u forms are the correct forms in the locative case).
