minus-square@ThatWeirdGuy1001link5•1 year agoAccording to my English teacher who grew up in California no. Palm is apparently not supposed to rhyme with calm
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year 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•1 year agoI pronounce both without the l. It just feels so clunky to say
minus-squarekaselink2•1 year 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•1 year 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•1 year 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!
Midwestern gang out here saying the l in palm
… Are you not supposed to?
According to my English teacher who grew up in California no.

Like you’d pronounce pom poms
But pom can also rhyme with palm. Same female vowel. 😂🙃
In my accent they’re similar but not the same.
