It's downright weird. Sodder sounds like some kind of obscene sexual act! What's wrong with SOL-DER-ING?

I am used to pronouncing it "sodder", is that incorrect?

Or is it supposed to be pronounced "soul-der" ?

Well actually it appears to be yet another US bastardisation of the English language.

(bastardization of the Englizh language for our septic friends).

Code:
sol·der
   /ˈsɒdər/ [sod-er] 

Origin:
1325–75;  (n.) ME soudour  < OF soudure, soldure,  deriv. of solder  to solder < L solidāre  to make solid, equiv. to solid ( us ) solid  + -āre  inf. suffix; (v.) late ME, deriv. of the n.

—Related forms
sol·der·a·ble, adjective
sol·der·er, noun
sol·der·less, adjective
de·sol·der, verb (used with object)
re·sol·der, verb

Looking at the origin, it would appear this is how sodder originated.

Odd, they dont pronounce welder - wedder but then again solder is a product as well as an activity , where as welder is a "person" (or robot).

Wait, you're saying it's a US thing when the origin is put in the 1300s? Am I reading that right? Because there were no Europeans in the Americas until after Columbus, 1492. What am I missing here?

it also states in the definition you gave that the pronunciation is [sod-er]. i have to agree with PBD on this one. if it was bastardized then it was done long before "america" was ever formed...

We have gone through this solder pronunciation discussion
before..

IIRC... it seems the USA and Canada pronounce it "sodder"
and the English speaking Europeans pronounce it "soLder"..

I've been in the Electronics field for ~30 years and I have
yet to converse with an electronics associated person and
have them pronounce it other than "sodder"...

(How would you pronounce knew.... "Cnew"...:D)

But thanks for trying to point out that I don't know my own
language...:gj:
(I know the Tittle said Americans... but we use the same
pronunciation as our southern friends...:beer:)

BTW... Soudure is French for Solder
and there is no L in it...:crackup:

I can't tell where you are from by your Member profile..
I guess the Chinese would have trouble pronouncing it....:D
(Fried Rice = Flied Lice)... they seem to like the "L"...:whistle:

But I agree we don't agree...:beer:
