Topic: Why do USAmericans pronounce "solder" as "sawder"?
Anonymous A started this discussion 10 years ago#48,606
Since, as any schoolboy can tell you, in USAmerican English, "solder" becomes "sawder", should not also "older" be pronounced as "awder", "bolder" as "bawder" and "colder as "cawder"? Shall we reform this linguistic inconsistency?

The point of these threads is to determine which linguistic inconsistencies the users of Minichan feel should be reformed. Thanks.

'Linguistic inconsistency', the adjectival-noun phrase, is intellectual property of a certain Sophie and, not 'sophically permitted or obliged, so Matt is infringing upon the reserved rights of her, and should linguistically reform this major inconsistency with propery rights of his.

"If you look at the etymology, the term comes from the 14th C English word sawd which in term comes from old French soldure from Latin solidare. The British may have started pronouncing the L under the influence of the French or Latin, whereas the Americans may have kept the 14th C pronunciation; I wouldn't be surprised if that pronunciation was still around in some British dialects in the 17th C."
