[sdiy] New diy video series

[Dave Garfield]

It's just the old "toe-MAY-toe"/"tuh-MAH-toe" argument all over again.  As an impressionable American child, I always wondered why the "L" in "solder" was NOT pronounced.  Just seemed weird.  But after 50-odd years of hearing/saying "sodder", it's kinda' stuck in my psyche that way.  But we can thank the French, in large part, for their contribution of words containing superfluous letters.  This is one reason why American spellings sometimes differ from their English versions - the early colonists tried to 'streamline' the language, and in lieu of having a language academy to remove ambiguities, this is what we came up with.Glad that there's no such word as "SOL-domy"  8^((Dave

 And I always think it's pronounced wrong when the 'L' is pronounced!

Seems like the 'L' is pronounced so brits aren't confused over whether one is working on plumbing/electronics or giving somebody the go from the back side...

I didn't mind the unboxing part.
I liked the demo part, and the music you had on in the background whilst you were working.

You mispronounced Solder, however.
There's an L in there ;)

Nice job, but skip opening the box next time. It drags. Overhead high-speed build with comments is good thinking. Keep going.
