Ooooh, how do Aaron and Erin sound different? I’m trying to come up with alternate pronunciations in my head and can’t figure out what they would be. I have no idea how to explain it! Aaron rhymes with barren, a short 'a' sound like cat. Erin rhymes with Kerryn - more of an 'air' sound but a bit shorter. Actually, it's like the 'e' in egg. LOL, that probably didn't help you at all! Aaron to me is like Barron without the B Eri(n) is like Eri(c)

I pronounce the l.
But I can't text and have to use speaker to text. I have a daughter on the pom squad at her high school and whenever I text (speak) the work "pom" it comes out as "palm". There are many words I didn't realize I don't say correctly until I started using speaker to text. I can't pronouce "in" correctly and it comes out as "and" on my text.

Because the sound those sounds are still all the same to me 😀 I can’t think of any other way you could say Eric. Surely there is only one way...Er-ic no stress on any of it. The Er is like the beginning of error.

I'm American and I pronounce yoke, yolk, joke, and folk all the same. So evidently it isn't just an English thing.
I talked to my dad about this last night. I don't say the l in yolk, he does.

I am thinking "polm" but I might be saying "pom" while I'm thinking that. It almost seems like you'd have to make it into two syllables to actually say pah-lm. So maybe i'm saying pom.

I don't say palm and salmon in the same way. Palm sounds a bit like parm but it's more paaam ( a long a ) where as salmon is a short a without the L - similar to Sam but adding the on with no emphasis on either syllable. Palm:- See? This guy is actually saying POM.

pahm yoke ah-mund sammun Those of you saying that you pronounce palm as "pom" - that's not how I hear Americans pronouncing it. Pom has a much shorter -o- sound. I don't know how to write the phonetic spelling of how I hear Americans pronounce it. But it's definitely more of an O sound than the drawn out AH of how an Australian would say it. This is why I have said before we need to set up a Two Peas YouTube pronunciation channel! Exactly the same as you for all four. I don’t hear anyone up my way saying parm.

No. Walk does not rhyme with dork. Dork has a very pronounced /r/ and walk doesn’t have the /r/ sound at all. Yes. Walk does rhyme with dork. Well, it does to Australians and Brits, because we don't pronounce our Rs the same way Americans do. The 'or' in dork sounds the same as the 'aw' in claw or raw. Now see I’m British too but Scottish so I don’t pronounce the ‘l’ in walk but I do very definitely pronounce the ‘r’ in dork (at least I would if I ever said that word but it’s not really used in my world. This thread reminds me of my Scottish pal who went out with an English lad with a brother called Carl. They used to get very annoyed with her as she pronounced his name with the ‘r’ so it sounded like Carol to their ears. In their southern England accents it was pronounced ‘Caaaahl’.

This thread is so fun! My doggie is wondering why I keep saying "palm, folk, yoke, salmon, Carl, wok, walk, Erin, Aaron, etc. To answer the OP: I pronounce it "paLm" but I don't say the L in "folk"

I haven't read the whole thread, but as a proud Floridian, for the love of all that's holy, there is an "L" in palm. It's paLm. We have PALM trees all over the place, not "pom" trees. Guilty as charged about yoke/yolk, but almond has an "L" in it as well.
That said, an Australian neighbor tried to explain the difference between "Carrie" and "Kerri" and was incredulous that people can't tell the difference.

There's an L in could, should, and walk too, and we don't pronounce those, so the fact that there's one in palm is immaterial.

Yes, but at the same time you have geese all over the place but up in Maine they do not have meese all over the place. The English language is strange and inconsistent sometimes.

American here and cattle and kettle are pronounced differently. No argument there. The difference though between Carrie and Kerri is more subtle. When said fast, they sound the same.

Not to me it doesn't doesn't matter how fast I say them If there's a difference between the ca and the ke for cattle and kettle then the same applies to the Ca and the Ke for Carrie and Kerri, they are exactly the same letters.
