Why do Americans pronounce solder as sodder?
#371779 - 12/11/17 07:32 AM


I don't call your shoulder your shodder.

When I watch X-Files I don't watch Scully and Modder.

When it gets colder outside I don't say hey guys it's getting codder.

Because for the same reason there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team... I don't know what he's talking about ...

Ar's are pronounced as Ah's, and vice versa new [Re: Smitdogg]

Brit: "I like that Ide'er"
Yank: "I like that idea."


Brit: "Get in the bloody Cah!"
Yank: "Get in the fucking car!"



Q: What did you do with that malfunctioning fembot?

A: I... Solder.

Nope, the inserted R only happens if it's followed by a word starting with a vowel.

"I like that idea very much."
"Do you like my idea?"
"Should we use my idea [r] or yours?"
"Take the idea [r] and run with it."

The inserted R never happens at the end of a phrase. Same with inserted Y, it only happens to separate vowels.

Because it's not, in any way, "US English".

One simple question from me :
- Why do You call this letter "W" - Double U, when it is clearly Double V ?

Because double v sounds like a name Starbucks made up for a product that is so lame a percentage of the country refuses to say it. Not as bad as venti but still wack.

One state up and one state over you have a state where the 'AR' is removed. Welcome home Dorothy. *sounds like something you'd hear on Jeopardy*

But nobody pronounces the name of that state "Kensaw".

It would sound too much like Kennesaw (GA). A place I unfortunately spent way too much time at. But hey Cobb County is the drug capital and now they got the Braves.

Depends on which region you are from.

There IS an I in team. You're just using the wrong font. Use block letters and look closely... it's no coincidence that it's hidden in the "A" hole

pits in soldering irons.. how to deal? new [Re: URherenow]

A... conundrum? Paradox? I'd use a file to take out an area on the iron that had essentially dissolved(?) away. So, if you had an iron with a large pit/cavity on it... you'd just leave it a lone and continue working with the iron?

Maybe there was something else I didn't do that got my iron to that point. But, as far as I know, I did everything I remember being taught in my electronics class/ vocational course. Maybe it was a bad soldering wire, or, just as italie mentioned, crap tips.

Buuuut, I'm sure it was some microscopic detail. *thinking*.... Maybe I didn't keep the tip tinned, or have enough tinning on it, or it'd get a glob on one side and sit there while I worked on something else before I soldered the next wire or component.

It'd seem that in those 'pits' that there'd be the aforementioned glob of solder. I'd knock it away off of the iron, and there'd be the pit.

Buy a decent soldering iron with decent tips.

These work well for PCB use...

Ah! The ones I bought were from Wal-Mart, and cost about 1/2 or less than those.
