    As someone who regularly mispronounces this as rhyming with almonds I feel a little attacked

    I also say the following wrong: Ikea, Nutella, idea. Somehow my bilingual brain just gives up.

      At the same time, it’s not pronounced as “samon”

      It’s either “saemon” or “semen” lol

      Is English fucked? Yes, yes, absolutely yes.

        Um, Google search for: salmon definition gave the following result for pronunciation: /ˈsamən/ And the voice sounds like “samon”.
