Homebrew PCBs

Having been first introduced to the US aviation industry in the mid 50's, including the Air Force, Commercial Aircraft and Missiles
& Space, I have never seen or heard of any form of solder referred to as 'soder' in any engineering or other technical reference (of
which I have referenced many thousands throughout my career).

I think that we are now co-mingling  language with the rest of the world - the affect of globalization - and as manufacturers
everywhere try to differentiate themselves when creating trade names for products, they draw from global information without
understanding (or caring?) to deal with all the subtle differences.

I just consider it as a bit of an awkward learning experience (although sometimes quite interesting) for us in translating many
things, such as is caused by differences in the language constructs used by our global friends, when communicating from their
differing backgrounds. (JMHO)

I think the problem, if thats the right name, has been found, it would appear that soldering products are/were sold in the USA under
the name Soder.......that is complete news to me, but would explain everything.....

Can any of the US Oldies say that for certain or not please? Thanks in advance.
