Yes but where is the origin of the word, surely the origin of the word
should dictate how its pronounced, thats how it works when other
countries tend to adopt words, i'm sure 'computer' is universal, even
in china, where the word was not invented..
So by that merit, if the art of soldering was invented where its
pronounced as soddering, then soddering it is, if it originates from
another country or time that pronounces the 'L', then some dictionary
has got it wrong....
