I… I already did pronounce the L 😔
Freak
Go ahead and pronounce the a in freak, nothing matters anymore
American and urban? I’ve noticed that all a lot of black people in and near cities pronounce the L. I always get a chuckle and they look at me like I’m a pompous British/French general from the 1800s or an idiot that can’t pronounce Ls.
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.
You should see Fr*nch.
They only pronounce the vowels and once in a blue moon a consonant.
But it’s systematic. In English, it’s systemless, complete wild west out there smh
English took over a lot of French words, originally written and pronounced like the French words, for example saumon (salmon). Then someone decided to go back to how the words were written in Latin (salmo), but they kept pronouncing it more like the French word.
The ultimate blend of multiple languages that are difficult to learn. We shall make it the universal trade language!
(And I know it doesn’t have things like tonal shifts)
Not always, fils…
The Channel Lock Lets Boats Through
Now in French:
E a’el oh es oas trou
stares from Portugal
“nh” and “lh” are sounds
Are those like ñ and ll in Spanish, or different?
You weren’t supposed to do that?
Salmon in English sounds like semen in Spanish
From now on I’ll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
what
is it not pronounced /sɔɫ.mən/ (sol-muhn)???
SAM-in
You’re not supposed to? Not a native English speaker.
*They put sall-mon in the fish tacos, Hank. ¡SALL-MON!
Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It’s making my tongue feel funny.
I always pronounce it that way.
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?
Like shoulder.
Maybe English needs an accent mark for silence, like the Turkish ğ
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.
At the same time, it’s not pronounced as “samon”
It’s either “saemon” or “semen” lol
Is English fucked? Yes, yes, absolutely yes.
Um, Google search for: salmon definition gave the following result for pronunciation: /ˈsamən/ And the voice sounds like “samon”.

I Like Going To Walmart For Fun
You might as well go ahead and pronounce the “L” in “salmon.” Nothing matters anymore.
I’m confused on where the walmart line is coming from, am I missing something?
Just spit balling, but maybe the program that does the transcription doesn’t just use the image, but instead scans the image, finds the Twitter account shown, and checks the tweet text in the image against the matching actual tweet.
And since it’s accessing the actual tweet, maybe that Walmart text is like a profile tag line or something that’s attached to the user?

Next you’ll be telling me I should pronounce the L in island as well!
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…
