This winds me up...

Why have you decided to make the 'L' another 'D'? It really isn't. A sod is a bit of a bastard, or a clump of earth (sodomy is something else entirely).

Please stop it. ;)

It's like dropping your Rs, except we got the wrong liquid. Any for a round of goff?

As a Brit living in Florida since 2001, that's one of the ones I've always been confused about. A bit like pronouncing herb 'erb'.  ;D

Also, I can't figure out why the 'i' was dropped from aluminium but no other elements. Why don't kids have helum balloons at parties?

Aha! Good point. Maybe we should try some though. They might sound better.

Herbs when you pronounce the "H" which isn't pronounced WITH the "H"

I agree wholeheartedly.  It's definitely spelled "solder".  (The "L" is silent though  ;) )

My next build will be called the hydroseed, because I'm gonna sodder all up in there!

I'm pretty sure that this is one of those cases where the Americans have preserved an older English pronunciation while it changed in the UK. So, either way you look at it, it's England's fault.  ;D

Always cringe a bit when I hear "sodder" on Youtube vids.

All depends where in the world you're from, we sodder/sawder 'round here, with leaded solder of course.
