I've always been curious about the North American and UK pronunciations of the word "solder". Why are they subtly different?

- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoWhatever the reason, it probably explains "caulk" too (US "cawk", UK "cawlk") [EDIT: "cawk" is a better rendition of AmE. ]
- bovermyer 5y agoAs an American English speaker, I have never heard "caulk" pronounced "cork." It's always been "cawk" for me.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoI edited it reflect your better rendition.
- Lio 5y agoThat’s nothing. I have a little WTF moment every time I hear an American pronounce the word “buoy”. :P I’m sure that’s reciprocated on more that a few cases too. :D
