Huh? What mangled English?
If you're referring to the tram/trolley thing, hey, there are different terms used between here and there, and they're both correct
I'm in some internet model train groups with guys from all over the planet; and, even though in UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand we all speak English, it ain't the same language!

Hey Tim, ain't it amazing how much better off people are when they do that, eh.
Sure is.

Unmangled topic
Your English is not mangled, 0et. The word "tram" is not in use in USA, but we in Canada know what it is. But we use the term "streetcar", instead of "tram", and "light rail" is a mini subway vehicle which is termed LRT (Light Rail Transit) and it runs above ground, not below, like the Tube or Underground in the UK.
