in this great Youtube clip ...

>>> In this English pronunciation lesson, I'm going to show you how to pronounce some difficult words. These words are often pronounced incorrectly and are common mistakes that many English students make. This is because the combination of sounds is difficult, or because there are silent letters and syllables. <<<

this beautiful teacher says that the correct pronunciation
is never to pronounce the L in Almond and Salmon.

_______________

> Demise (2 months ago) ------- As a native English speaker I always have and always will pronounce the “l" in almond, even if it’s technically incorrect.

> Old Edwardian (2 months ago) -------- AGREED.

> Journey (2 months ago) --------- Yup same

(Is this stubbornness more common in the UK than in the USA?)

These ppl aren't as bullish about the L in Salmon.

Wow! ------ and Mmmmmmmmmmm !

Almond gets the 'L' - Salmon doesn't. No rhyme or reason.
