      According to my English teacher who grew up in California no.

      Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm

        This was mega confusing at first bc I just realized I do not pronounce the L in palm or calm. So they do rhyme… but it’s like pom/com

          Seeing what people with different accents think rhymes is wild. Calm, farm and palm all rhyme but sound nothing like com or pom!

        It is, but not the way you think - you* don’t pronounce the L in either. Calm, palm, balm, farm, harm all rhyme.

        *obviously you do, I speak nothing but the Queen’s!

        That’s not really how things work. How did she think they were “supposed” to be pronounced?
