Almond

[EntropyCentral]

I know some people pronounce the 'l' in Almond, but I don't think it can be many. I've never heard it except from my husband and it drives me nuts (!)

So how many do?

YABU: One should pronounce the 'l' in Almond.

YANBU: Of course you bloody don't!

Al-mond until I was told ar-mond is the posh way.

You're not taking into account rhotic and non-rhotic accents there.

Are you a pirate?

Ah-mund to rhyme with palm, alms, balm.

Perfectly familiar with alternative pronunciations though 😁

I grew up with an Irish nanny, so it's Ah-mund to me. But I think either is ok

I come across 4 regularly:
Ah-mond
Arl-mond
All-mond (as in the word all)
All-mond (as in the name Allan)

I now have absolutely no fucking clue how I say this word.

There is definitely no r sound in almond. It's ahmund.

Al - mund

Ahh... someone who doesn't understand non rhotic accents. Bless.

Is pronouncing the 'L' a Midlands thing?

I say aLmond. It never occured to me how very very wrong this is.
OK, I'll correct it from now on.
But moving forward you'll need to accept warnut, hazernut and pissed arsio nut from me too.

It's AL-mond.

Clue's in the spelling. Any other way of saying it is just nuts.

Al mund is the way we say it.
Well the only time we need to say Almond is when DH orders an Almond slice!

I say - arlmond

I pronounce it 'Arr-mund'. No L sounds at all.
I don't like it when I hear Al- mund. Or All-mund.
But think it's more common outside the UK to use the latter two.

No L.

I say ah mund and privately think people who say al mund sound stupid 😅

Al-mond for me. Like the al in "you can call me Al."

Ah-mond here.

If anyone knows which way is the posh way (I don't) I strongly recommend joining in with this thread with a post saying it's the wrong way round to drive all the milk in second etiquette types bananas

Scottish - me too. Ah-mund. DH is from England and says all-monde.
