minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•2 years agoAccording to my English teacher who grew up in California no. Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm
minus-squarekaselinkfedilink2•2 years agoThis 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
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoSeeing what people with different accents think rhymes is wild. Calm, farm and palm all rhyme but sound nothing like com or pom!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoIt 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!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 years ago Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm That’s not really how things work. How did she think they were “supposed” to be pronounced?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoBut pom can also rhyme with palm. Same female vowel. 😂🙃
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoIn my accent they’re similar but not the same.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoI pronounce both without the l. It just feels so clunky to say
