Why don't Americans pronounce the L in SOLDER?

They say SODER which sounds almost like SOD HER.

Weird.


What is weird (as just one example) is the Brit pronunciation of
"Thames." "Temz", indeed! Shame on you!

The Brits have destroyed the English language and they should be
apologetic, and certainly not aggressive about this issue! :)

Great countries divided by a common language and all of that which no
longer means much.

Although we were speaking it long before your country even *existed*. So
how are *we* destroying *our* language again?

Oh yes, 'Great' countries? Racing to the bottom, more like. Both of 'em.
