Yeah, it does. I suspect it's not the standard pronunciation in my region, since Wiktionary lists it as an alternative American pronunciation and I'm Australia

Yeah, it does.
I suspect it's not the standard pronunciation in my region, since Wiktionary lists it as an alternative American pronunciation and I'm Australian, but for whatever reason that's how I pronounce it.
- SamBam 5y agoI expect that many people pronounce "plover" as "clover" if they saw it written down first before they heard someone who knows the pronunciation say it. There are plenty of words like that in English. I pronounced it as rhyming with "clover" too before learning that it's actually incorrect.
- wyattpeak 5y agoThat's possible too, though I don't subscribe to the idea that a widely used pronunciation can be incorrect.
