I… I already did pronounce the L 😔
Freak
Go ahead and pronounce the a in freak, nothing matters anymore
American and urban? I’ve noticed that all a lot of black people in and near cities pronounce the L. I always get a chuckle and they look at me like I’m a pompous British/French general from the 1800s or an idiot that can’t pronounce Ls.
In Vermont we also pronounce the L however the N is dropped.
So interesting how different it can be!
Yea I’m finding the bulk of the Vermont accent is just stressing the beginning of words and mumbling the least letter. So lie we kinn a sou liee thihs all the timee. It was pretty jarring moving to Florida after growing up around folks that talked like that.
I speak Spanish and it’s wild to have no many randomly decided silent letters in words. We have the H that is silent always, and that’s it. We have Salmón, with the intonation in the o, and we of course pronounce the L. I can’t even say salmon without the L while not sounding stupid.
You should see Fr*nch.
They only pronounce the vowels and once in a blue moon a consonant.
But it’s systematic. In English, it’s systemless, complete wild west out there smh
Otherwise known as Choffolo.
English took over a lot of French words, originally written and pronounced like the French words, for example saumon (salmon). Then someone decided to go back to how the words were written in Latin (salmo), but they kept pronouncing it more like the French word.
The ultimate blend of multiple languages that are difficult to learn. We shall make it the universal trade language!
(And I know it doesn’t have things like tonal shifts)
Not always, fils…
Oh you must be joking.
There is absolutely zero system in half of French’s letter salad!

stares from Portugal
“nh” and “lh” are sounds
Are those like ñ and ll in Spanish, or different?
Yes. You double the letter, we composite it.
No me entra en la cabeza que hagan silenciosa la L de salmón… hasta te diría que me ofende ligeramente esta información.
Salmon in English sounds like semen in Spanish
Are the flavors similar too?
I don’t know but id happily consume several kilograms of both
Got a question for you. What’s heavier: a kilogramme of salmon or a kilogramme of semen?
Clearly the semen, as it’s more dense you can fit more semen in a kilogram than salmon.
/s
Akshully, the density plays its part becase of Archimedes force an atmosphere is applying to an object. The less dense an object is, the lighter it will weight for the same mass. E.g. the air baloon with helium inside will have a mass even higher that an empty one because of added helium mass, yet it may float up thus having a negative weight (in the atmosphere)
The kilogram of semen, cause you have to carry the weight of being a slut
I’d be worried if so.
You know what? You’re absolutely right! We have no future, if climate change doesn’t get us in the next 50 years, or the endless crushing of the working classes under late stage capitalism, then the rising new wave of western fascism will when it takes over.
Nothing matters any more, let’s just do whatever we want <3
Orgy, anyone?
I’ll bring the wine.
From which country?
SALMON
Partly wish I had Twitter in order to commend them on their choice of Frisky Dingo profile pic, but I’d rather pull the pubes off my scrotum one-by-one with tweezers than visit Twitter so it’s not going to happen.
Anybody want to DM OP for me? Or get their pubes removed?
Instructions unclear: Dm’d OP my pubes
I mean hey, it’s Friday. Why not?
what
is it not pronounced /sɔɫ.mən/ (sol-muhn)???
SAM-in
From now on I’ll pronounce Worcester as whore Chester.
Leave Chester alone, he’s just misunderstood!
You’re not supposed to? Not a native English speaker.
As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked
I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.
At the same time, it’s not pronounced as “samon”
It’s either “saemon” or “semen” lol
Is English fucked? Yes, yes, absolutely yes.
Um, Google search for: salmon definition gave the following result for pronunciation: /ˈsamən/ And the voice sounds like “samon”.
*They put sall-mon in the fish tacos, Hank. ¡SALL-MON!
I can’t believe this is already here. That’s what I was gonna post!
Let me give it a try “flip flop plop plop”. Still working on my salmonese.
Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It’s making my tongue feel funny.

I Like Going To Walmart For Fun
You might as well go ahead and pronounce the “L” in “salmon.” Nothing matters anymore.
I’m confused on where the walmart line is coming from, am I missing something?
Just spit balling, but maybe the program that does the transcription doesn’t just use the image, but instead scans the image, finds the Twitter account shown, and checks the tweet text in the image against the matching actual tweet.
And since it’s accessing the actual tweet, maybe that Walmart text is like a profile tag line or something that’s attached to the user?
I… I’m not convinced it’s a bot though. There are normal comments in the account history
Yes! Pronounce your letters, don’t be weird! (I know this is not about this, but I’ll probably never be able to tell this to any anglophone.)
How should I say should? How should I talk talk? Should I talk to the Colonel about putting the scissors in the drawer?
Like shoulder.
Maybe English needs an accent mark for silence, like the Turkish ğ
“Talk” like in “calc” but the first letter is a “t”. “Should” as in “shoulder”, just without the “er”. And so on…
Just as long as I can simultaneously drop the’l’ sound from salmonella
