I already do this with the word "solder" which confuses my fellow Americans greatly. They seem to think I'm lying that the L is sounded out in some other English speaking countries.

I just think the American pronunciation (SAW-dur) sounds wrong.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I don't solder, so I'm no expert, but I've only ever heard it pronounced "sodder" (though agreed, leaving out the "l" sound is an odd choice).

[–] matter@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In UK/Australia/NZ we pronounce it as written, with the l.

[–] woobie@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It was friends and YouTube content creators from the UK that made me realize that dropping the L isn't done everywhere else. I grew up thinking that it was just one of those English words that break all the pronunciation rules.

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am today years old learning that it was spelled with an L and not just a D.

[–] IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Out of all the different ways Americans pronounce words differently, hearing sodder is the only one that makes me cringe.

[–] uis@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure that place have.. SOBER!

[–] ThatOneBatTurd@lemmy.one 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What area of the country are you in? I'm on the West Coast and the normal pronunciation is with the L. Pronunciations often depend on region though

[–] moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In New England I've only ever heard it without the L (like "sodder").

[–] ThatOneBatTurd@lemmy.one 6 points 11 months ago

That makes sense given the region

[–] woobie@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm on the west coast, Northern California. Huh.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Not to be confused with ~~soljer~~ soldier

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

You say that, but there's the anachronistic nautical slang "soger" for an inept or lazy sailor. It came from the soldiers assigned to British navy ships, who did not participate in the sailing of the vessel.

I always find it odd that Americans pronounce it so weirdly, but that's different cultures with different fresh takes on our language I suppose.
