      Its all the lead in the pipes, it makes the frogs gay with all the chemtrail fallout on this flat earth being watched by Jewish space laser satellites.

        Honestly I’d give shit like that a pass, silent letters are stupid and sometimes don’t even exist in certain spellings for the same word looking at you soder, sodder, solder. Also if anyone brings up the l in solder being pronounced, not in my dialect nor in most other older dialects I’ve encountered only the ones wherein they reromanticized random words.

            Pretty sure you guys were effected by the reromanticized effect, that broadly speaking started around the 1850s or so in England though wasn’t fully finalized until about the 1970s or so. Solder was just one of the more unified examples of a word being effected due to it being rarely used outside of blacksmiths up until the industrial revolution and it being a relatively easy thing to assume the l was pronounced by the developing metal working tradesmen unless the region had the soder or sodder spellings instead of with the traditional spelling.

              Who cares? The point is that the spelling is better for us now. Dialects exist. Universalising English is stupid.

                Oh most certainly but also I’m going to take every moment to shit on anything and everything the English aristocracy has ever done if it’s even the least bit stupid. I will shed the blood of Saxon men.

          Bro’s starting out with ethnocentrism and ends with it full circle “reromanticized”

          Impressive performance, I envy

            How is that ethnocentric? I’m a Californian Redneck barely a culture and sure as shit not a ethnicity. My point was to moreso directly shit on the English in particular who reintroduced the l pronunciation and indirectly caused a bunch of random fuckers to get pissy with me. In hindsight I probably should specified, regardless I am unfamiliar with any dialect pre 1900s who pronounced the l in solder.
