They're saying "yisgadeil veyisqadeish" in order to be clear they are
citing Yechezqel, removing all doubt that they are speaking Hebrew and
not Aramaic. ("Yisgadal veyisqadash" is valid in either language.) Why
would they change the diqduq on "veyis-halal" -- it's *supposed* to
remain in Aramaic?

Okay, that was generous of me. Te people who make a point of saying the
words louder than the rest of Qaddish are more likely saying "yisgadeil
veyisqadeish" in order to be clear that they are among the "intelligensia"
who remember their MB, and not the hoi paloi who don't know more than
to read the siddur in front of them.

Tir'u baTov!
