Homebrew PCBs

I've never pronounced the "l" and have rarely heard anyone else pronounce it that way. USA from New York to Florida to California to Washington (state). So I don't think it is just some parts of the USA.

A search for solder definition yields many websites that define the pronunciation with a silent "l", with a few that specifically mention a British pronunciation with a spoken "l". So once again, we're separated by a common language.

On the other hand, I can say "art" and no one thinks I meant "ought".
