Next you’ll be telling me I should pronounce the L in island as well!
what
is it not pronounced /sɔɫ.mən/ (sol-muhn)???
SAM-in
Yes! Pronounce your letters, don’t be weird! (I know this is not about this, but I’ll probably never be able to tell this to any anglophone.)
How should I say should? How should I talk talk? Should I talk to the Colonel about putting the scissors in the drawer?
“Talk” like in “calc” but the first letter is a “t”. “Should” as in “shoulder”, just without the “er”. And so on…
*They put sall-mon in the fish tacos, Hank. ¡SALL-MON!
From now on I’ll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
You’re not supposed to? Not a native English speaker.
I speak Spanish and it’s wild to have no many randomly decided silent letters in words. We have the H that is silent always, and that’s it. We have Salmón, with the intonation in the o, and we of course pronounce the L. I can’t even say salmon without the L while not sounding stupid.
stares from Portugal
“nh” and “lh” are sounds
You should see Fr*nch.
They only pronounce the vowels and once in a blue moon a consonant.

Now in French:
E a’el oh es oas trou
And pronounce aluminum the wrong way too.
And pronounce the letter H incorrectly! Why not?
I should have been saying it like that all along, but, you know, woulda, coulda, shoulda!
Oh fine, let’s just start pronouncing “recognize” as though there were actually a “G” in it then!! I mean where does the madness stop!!
Or the t in exactly.
Actually that sort of annoys me…
Exackly! I reconize your problem. Now I’m off to go buy some jewluhry.
I… I already did pronounce the L 😔
Freak
Salmon in English sounds like semen in Spanish
As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked
I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.
