Several web dictionaries say that the word origin of 'solder' comes via Old French from Latin solidāre to strengthen, from solidus solid.

So…. “SAL-der”? ;)



Fun fact: US television news outlets like to hire people originating from the midwest states due to their “Midwestern neutral” accents.

So the differences between East coast and West coast pronunciations of the word are understood. But we (Illinois) typically say it the same way.

That's a bird of a different color/colour. More like the difference in how we pronounce "aluminum" compared to the UK. Same spelling but pronounced completely different. If you read it and not hear it, I can understand it being pronounced differently.

I can see that, and it makes perfect sense as to why people new to the industry are saying it with the 'L'. Which is why it makes me wonder why it's said without the 'L'. Is it a 'we drive on the right-side of the street', 'imperial not metric', 'elevator not lift' sort of U.S. rebellion thing going on? Or just regional imitation?

In the Portland, OR (USA) area, we say SODder.  I always thought SOLDer was a British pronunciation, hearing it from people with "foreign" accents.



In the Pacific Northwest, the natives don't have accents!







Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word.  It means they learned it by reading.
