What the hell! Let's all just go crazy!

.... You were supposed to the whole time ....
- Nothing ever mattered? D:
  
  LiNGuIsTiC pResCrIPtiViSm
- My wife and I have been on board for decades :)

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.
  
  In Vermont we also pronounce the L however the N is dropped.

Next you'll be telling me I should pronounce the L in island as well!
- fun fact: the S in island is completely fucking made up, the original spelling was "iland" with "i" being cognate with "ö" in swedish. It basically means island land and the only reason why there's an S in there is because some shithead thought it was related to the french word "isle" and felt that INCORRECT idea warranted changing the spelling.
  
  Yep. It is indeed. ~~Same with the K in knight, which was added for no fucking reason.~~ Sweden also has an island called Öland which means island land.
  
  I think what you said is slightly wrong. Island and isle are both English words that seem to have no ethymological connection. However close semantic relation of "isle" might have cause the introduction of the "s" at some point. Isle itself probably comes from latin "insula". The French still have only one word "Île". Germans have "Eiland" and "Insel".
  island [OE] Despite their similarity, island has no etymological connection with isle (their resemblance is due to a 16th-century change in the spelling of island under the influence of its semantic neighbour isle). Island comes ultimately from a prehistoric Germanic *aujō, which denoted 'land associated with water,' and was distantly related to Latin aqua 'water'. This passed into Old English as īeg 'island,' which was subsequently compounded with land to form īegland 'island'. By the late Middle English period this had developed to iland, the form which was turned into island. (A diminutive form of Old English īeg, incidentally, has given us eyot 'small island in a river' [OE].)
  Isle [13] itself comes via Old French ile from Latin insula (the s is a 15th-century reintroduction from Latin). Other contributions made by insula to English include insular [17], insulate [16], insulin, isolate [via Italian) [18], and peninsula [16].
  
  Can the UN declare that every school needs to replace Island with Iland?
- i-sand... is-and... isund? iand? Ok, I give up, how are you supposed to pronounce it without the L?
  
  Now that is the real question.
  
  etymologically the word is made up of "i" and "land", the "s" was added by some idiot in the 15th century. "i" is cognate with "ö" in swedish which simply means "island", so just pull a power move and drop all the other letters completely.
- You mean the s?
  
  I mean the L. Like in salmon.

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.
- 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).
  
  In UK/Australia/NZ we pronounce it as written, with the l.
  
  I am today years old learning that it was spelled with an L and not just a D.
- Out of all the different ways Americans pronounce words differently, hearing sodder is the only one that makes me cringe.
  
  Are you sure that place have.. SOBER!
- 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
  
  In New England I've only ever heard it without the L (like "sodder").
  
  I'm on the west coast, Northern California. Huh.
- Not to be confused with ~~soljer~~ soldier
  
  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.
- I'm in the US and I've never heard anyone pronounce it "SAW-dur" in person or in any form of media. You are supposed to pronounce the L in the General American accent.
  If you use Google's word pronunciation tools, both General American and Received Pronunciation pronounce the L in soldier.
  Edit: I like the downvotes to all my comments without anyone showing me people pronouncing it that way.
  
  I think this is a misunderstanding. The poster you're replying to is talking about solder, not soldier (which you wrote, assuming that's the word you meant). Solder, as in a soldering iron, is pronounced Saw-dur in the US. Ya dingus 😉
  
  Not really, it’s the same as caulk.
  
  Couldn’t even wait longer than an hour to complain about downvotes.

From now on I'll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
- Leave Chester alone, he's just misunderstood!
  
  Yeah. Dude has to earn a living somehow.
- In a German quizz show, there was the question how to pronounce it and not everyone know
  
  WORSCHESTERSOSSE
  
  I'm surprised anyone knew.

You're not supposed to? Not a native English speaker.
- No, the L is silent. Thank the French for that.
  
  Samon, really?
  
  Geuss I ain't ever gonna pronounce this damn language correctly . You can't blame this on French tho because in that language it's saumon pronounced somon. They didn't drop a consonant in the middle of the word.
  
  Sallemonne /s
  Edit: Looked it up, the French word is actually "saumon". The L in the English word probably isn't from French.
- No, but you do pronounce it in salmonella. English is not a language governed by logic.
  
  I think it's optional in "salmonella". I was a biology student in college and heard both pronunciations all the time.
  
  you do? i always said it without the l

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
- stares from Portugal
  "nh" and "lh" are sounds
  
  Are those like ñ and ll in Spanish, or different?
- No me entra en la cabeza que hagan silenciosa la L de salmón.. hasta te diría que me ofende ligeramente esta información.

You weren't supposed to do that?

Just try to pronounce laugh as it’s spelt. I dare you.
- Salmon is a type of ghoti.
  
  Ghoti (fish) is referring to an old Tom Scott video about the inconsistencies of the English language, right?
  
  It has facial hair??
- i believe that's a welsh insult
  
  Ich sehe was du tatest hier
- okay I did it. It's pointless to write out what I said. But you get it.
  
  Laowguh-hhhh

- 🪵-h

Oh sugar, I already do

Salmon in English sounds like semen in Spanish
- Are the flavors similar too?
  
  I don't know but id happily consume several kilograms of both
  
  I'd be worried if so.

You know what? You're absolutely right! We have no future, if climate change doesn't get us in the next 50 years, or the endless crushing of the working classes under late stage capitalism, then the rising new wave of western fascism will when it takes over.
Nothing matters any more, let's just do whatever we want <3
- Orgy, anyone?
  I'll bring the wine.
  
  From which country?
- SALMON

what
is it not pronounced /sɔɫ.mən/ (sol-muhn)???
- SAM-in

Partly wish I had Twitter in order to commend them on their choice of Frisky Dingo profile pic, but I'd rather pull the pubes off my scrotum one-by-one with tweezers than visit Twitter so it's not going to happen.
Anybody want to DM OP for me? Or get their pubes removed?
- Instructions unclear: Dm'd OP my pubes
  
  I mean hey, it's Friday. Why not?

Just as long as I can simultaneously drop the'l' sound from salmonella

I always pronounce the H in Meghan and the TH in Thailand in my head.
- Thighland is a very different place in my head.
  
  Probably closer to Brazil
- Herb.
  Phone.
  Come at me Pronouncation nerds.
  
  Erb (with a long e)
- While we are at it, the. The t doesn't sound like a t. The h doesn't sound like an h. The e doesn't sound like an e.
  None of the letters sound like how they should when looked at individually. I propose we change this. From now on, each letter gets pronounced as itself in the word the.
  
  We used to have a letter for 'th' (thorn (Þ, þ)), but it was replaced by 'th'. There are people trying to bring back, but I wonder if they just like typing þorn (thorn)
  
  Teehee 🤭
- You're wife material for Ron DeSantis.

Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It's making my tongue feel funny.
- I always pronounce it that way.

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".

salman rushdie
- lol yes! Someone who has actually watched Frisky Dingo!

*They put sall-mon in the fish tacos, Hank. ¡SALL-MON!
- I can't believe this is already here. That's what I was gonna post!

Let me give it a try "flip flop plop plop". Still working on my salmonese.

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
  
  "Talk" like in "calc" but the first letter is a "t". "Should" as in "shoulder", just without the "er". And so on...

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?
