Major Prospect - LOL i must be retarded then coz i say ar-mund!

I asked coz my family was arguing about it last nite, and we looked it up in the english dictionary and it said it is pronounced as ar-mund (it didn't spell it like that, used a funny letter, but was pronounced with an 'r'!)

Richard C - what the hell has a question on almonds got to do with cyanide? no i'm not planning on killing someone! where the hell did u get that idea?

Answer 1

It's a silent 'L'. It's always a silent 'L' ..................



................... ar-mund ....................



Where the heck do they say ar-mund. In good old Britain, that's whre. I've never yet met a person who pronounces the 'L'.

I shall, however, allow you to call me retarded but only if you're called Stephen Hawking. I'm only 10-15 I. Q. points short of being an official genius (150 points = genius apparently).

So, for all you wonderful Americans who believe you know how to speak English, you don't pronounce the 'L'.
