My prefix is Polish
My postfix, just the opposite
My infix is easier to read
I can be anything you choose, but never, ever will I be a Tion.
What am I?

This figures out to be
notation
My prefix is Polish
Polish notation, aka prefix notation.
My postfix, just the opposite
Postfix notation is also called Reverse Polish Notation.
My infix is easier to read
Infix notation is easier to read for humans.
I can be anything you choose, but never, ever will I be a Tion.
You can select your own notation, but this is not a tion.

1$\begingroup$ Oops, fixed that. Maybe a T ion is ${^3}{H^+}$. $\endgroup$– TomCommented Jan 22, 2019 at 0:01

$\begingroup$ Oo, brilliant! Editing the question :-) (no cancel that, too contrived.) $\endgroup$– BassCommented Jan 22, 2019 at 0:06
