Why is it "He is Risen"?
Should it not be "He has risen"? Sounds weird to me. (Reposted to remove names)
What’s your go-to phrase for sounding polite but still being a little sarcastic?
Mine is: ‘Thank you for your request. You know how much we value your opinion. We’ll give it the consideration it deserves.’
Can I say it?
Can I say "It's so pleasant" instead of thank you when people wish me happy birthday?
A few question about English

Does a T-shirt with words like that look weird to a native speaker
I've seen some "strange English on clothes" meme so I'm curious. for example, this outfit literally has a picture of a landscape tagged with its name and address. Is that weird？ I also had a hoodie that I realized the picture on it was just a map of all rivers in a certain part of the United States with some village names on it... I had never noticed the English on my clothes before I planned to visit an English-speaking country. I've already picked out a lot of clothes that I absolutely can't wear because some of them literally have stuff like 'Turn into a werewolf' written on them, which is really cringe lol.
Why is 'Reagan' in 'Ronald Reagan' not pronounced as 'Ree-gan'?
Is it because people get to decide how their own (last) name is pronounced or is there a deeper explanation to it?
Native speakers, how do you feel about this?
